Victor Wanyama made a memorable return to Celtic Park this week, enjoying the electric Champions League atmosphere as his former club triumphed over RB Leipzig with a 3-1 victory. The Kenyan, who famously scored the opener in Celtic’s historic 2-1 win over Barcelona in 2012, watched from the stands as the current squad secured another impressive European win, pushing them closer to the playoff rounds.
Wanyama reconnected with former teammates, including ex-captain Scott Brown, who was covering the match for TNT Sports along with Neil Lennon and Emma Dodds. The two posed for a photo, which Wanyama shared on social media, thanking Celtic fans for the warm welcome with a clover and green heart emoji.
During halftime, Wanyama joined the Paradise Windfall draw, adding to the excitement of the night. The match itself was a thrilling one, with Nicolas Kuhn stealing the show by scoring twice and earning a spot in UEFA’s Team of the Week. Kuhn’s performance was celebrated by Celtic fans, though it drew dismissive comments from Leipzig’s local media, who referred to him as a “no-name German.” Reo Hatate capped off the victory with a close-range tap-in, leaving Celtic well-poised in their Champions League journey.
