Watch as Nicolas Kuhn reunited with ex-Celtic teammates in heartwarming moment

Nicolas Kuhn has admitted he would love to return to Celtic Park one day after taking the difficult decision to leave.

And his love for his former teammates would appear to be as great as for the club itself.

The German winger was denied the chance to quickly come up against his old side at the Como Cup when it was Ajax that progressed to play the Italian side with a 5-1 thumping of the Scottish champions.

But he has been making up for that by mingling with his mates pitchside at half-time while the score was still level with the Dutch side.

As well as being seen posing for pictures with Celtic fans, he also embraced a number of the players as well as manager Brendan Rodgers.

Liam Scales, Luke McCowan, Yang and Daizen Maeda were all in a rush to greet him and the latter pair gave him a bit of a playful wrestle after embracing.

Speaking on his Celtic exit this week, a grateful Kuhn had said: “Was it a difficult decision to leave? Of course. I loved my time at Celtic. It’s an unbelievable club. It was difficult to leave, of course.

“I wasn’t there that long - it was 18 months. But everything happened quite fast and I enjoyed it.

“I loved my time there and think we had some really special moments. I think it turned out pretty well.

“That was the plan, to stay for probably two years, perform well and help the team and the club.

“I will be forever grateful for what Celtic did for me.”

On Rodgers, he added: 

 “He is an amazing guy. We had some great times and good talks.

“Before I left, I went to see him in his office. I thanked him for everything he did for me. Now it’s a new chapter.”
