Key Statistics from Celtic’s 3-1 Victory Against RB Leipzig

Celtic has achieved a streak of three consecutive home victories in the Champions League, a feat not accomplished since November 2007, when Gordon Strachan was manager. RB Leipzig stands as the first German team to experience defeat in their initial four Champions League matches within a single campaign since Stuttgart did so in the 2007-08 season. Nicolas Kuhn made history as the first Celtic player to net two goals in the opening half of a Champions League/European Cup fixture since Roy Aitken’s performance in October 1979 against Partizani Tirana. Celtic’s current tally of nine goals this term marks their highest in a Champions League/European Cup campaign since the 1977-78 season, when they scored 13 goals. Kuhn has been instrumental for Celtic this season across all competitions, contributing to 19 goals (comprising nine goals and 10 assists), which is at least seven more than any other player on his team. Kasper Schmeichel, at 38 years old, equaled the record for the oldest player to participate in a Champions League match on his birthday, a record previously set by David Seaman for Arsenal against Schalke in September 2001.
