Letting Nicolas Kuhn leave Celtic is a major risk and I'll hold off on the herograms until they prove me wrong – Chris Sutton

Nicolas Kuhn out of the door for a fortune. That looks like an outstanding piece of financial business again by Celtic.

Hands up, I didn’t think Celtic would get such an impressive fee for the winger.

I wasn’t convinced any club would be willing to fork out as much, but Como clearly believe he's worth that amount and that’s all that matters. But, regardless of the circumstances, I’d prefer to reserve my full judgement on this matter until after the Champions League qualifier is over.

Perhaps Kuhn's head was turned, perhaps Celtic think the ready-made replacement is there already in Benjamin Nygren.

But, whatever the reasoning, I’d say the German leaving at this precise moment represents a risk and it’s now down to Celtic to disprove that notion. If Kuhn’s exit doesn’t damage the route back to the section-phase of the elite tournament, fine, Then I’ll start dishing out the plaudits.

On figures alone, Celtic will have done terrifically well to get a profit of around £14 million on a guy who was there for just 18 months and performed at consistently high level for a third of that. say six or seven of those months? Maybe that’ll be seen as harsh, but that’s how I see it. Kuhn deserved his time to settle in during the first six months.

Returning at the beginning of last season. he was dynamite. With a strong pre-season under his belt, the wide man was fabulous both at domestic and European and continued that through until scoring against Bayern Munich in his homeland.

But after that? He fell off a cliff and a couple of times I can recall he was hooked at half-time by Brendan Rodgers after insipid first-half showings. The Rangers game at Celtic Park being the glaring example of that when Barry Ferguson’s won.

So, on the face
