Brendan Rodgers has opened up on the one area he feels new Celtic signing Nicolas Kuhn can improve on.

The forward signed from Rapid Vienna on a five-and-a-half-year deal, for a reported fee of £3million, and the 50-year-old is excited at his arrival.

Kuhn scored three goals and provided seven assists in 22 appearances for the Austrian side in the first half of the season.

And Rodgers insists the Hoops can improve his performance in front of goal.

Speaking to Celtic TV, he said: "If you look at his actual profile it suits perfectly to how we play, he is a player that is very dynamic, he's very quick and we feel we can add goals to his game.

"That is the area he can improve on. He's very creative. He likes to create and score but we feel we can help him with his numbers.

"He's had some really good experiences as a young player at some big clubs but he's now stepping out into his own light.

'He's done very well at Rapid and now comes to ourselves and hopefully continue with that development cycle.

"I am really excited about him. He fits the profile of our team very well and we hope we can develop him over the coming years."

Meanwhile, Scottish Premiership clubs are set to receive a bumper Champions League payment following Celtic and Rangers' involvement in the group stage of the tournament.

UEFA's tournament will land top-flight SPFL sides, who were not involved in Europe's elite competition, £1.1million – a rise of 80 per cent due to fresh terms of the new-look format.

The Daily Mail reports that Hibs, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, Livingston, Motherwell, Ross County, St Johnstone, St Mirren and relegated Dundee United will all pick up £650,000 in tax-free cash following Celtic and Rangers' group stage involvement.

The report goes on to state that Hearts do not receive payout – which is up from £340,000 from the previous year – because of their involvement in the group stage of the Uefa Conference League.

Aberdeen did land the fee but they will not be eligible for payment next season.

This year's Champions League financial gain will again soar next term with the Scottish Premiership winners set to net around £30million from the new-look tournament.
