Sometimes asking questions at a player’s big unveiling can feel a bit like pulling teeth.
But yesterday, as Nicolas Kuhn did the media rounds inside Celtic Park, it was precisely the opposite. And that’s not just because the German new boy happens to be as polite as he is charming. It’s because only a few weeks ago he literally was having his teeth pulled out in a dentist’s chair in Vienna – and the 24-year-old is still getting over the whole nightmarish procedure.
Kuhn couldn’t eat a meal for 12 days. And when the pain finally eased off he found himself having sleepless nights after discovering that Brendan Rodgers wanted him in Glasgow – and that Rapid Vienna had no intention of letting him leave. All in all then it’s been a tumultuous few weeks for Kuhn who hasn’t stopped to catch breath since he was finally given permission to catch the flight to his new home and put pen to paper on a bumper five-and-a-half year contract.
