Celtic have watched their team lift three trophies in 2024.
The most memorable one has been Celtic’s League Cup final win over Rangers, simply because it was won via a penalty shootout and trophy number 119 was delivered.
But, in terms of the quality of the game, even Brendan Rodgers will admit that the Bhoys weren’t at their free-flowing best.
Luckily, for large parts of 2024, fans have been able to witness some real magic and here at 67 Hail Hail, we take a look at the top assist providers for Celtic over the course of the calendar year.
Nicolas Kuhn, 14 assists
Who else? Nicolas Kuhn has been a standout performer for Celtic in 2024 and has ripped teams apart after his early struggles.
Even during those opening six months – when fans and media alike were questioning Kuhn – he still managed to supply three assists.
Alistair Johnston, 12 assists
Alistair Johnston is the most underrated player at Celtic and someone who is a leader without the armband.
One of the most consistent performers, he is now starting to build a very healthy relationship with Kuhn on the right flank.

It’s one of the strongest areas of the pitch for the Bhoys, with Johnston helping himself to 12 assists over the course of the calendar year.

Matt O’Riley, ten assists
You suspect that Matt O’Riley would probably be top of this list if he was still at the club, but it still shouldn’t be a surprise that he is on here, despite only playing three matches this term.
Celtic fans were gutted when O’Riley left for Brighton, but playing in the Premier League is a move that he deserves and has earned.
Over the calendar year, he managed to supply ten assists for the Bhoys and help Rodgers win the double.
Player Number of assists
Nicolas Kuhn 14
Alistair Johnston 12
Matt O’Riley 10
James Forrest 8
Greg Taylor 8
Arne Engels 7
Daizen Maeda 5
Kyogo Furuhashi 5
Paulo Bernardo 5
Alex Valle 4
Alex Valle’s standout assist
Celtic hit St Johnstone for six in September and the new boy on the block – Alex Valle – introduced himself like no other.
Fans were still getting to know what he was all about and then Valle produced an outrageous flicked assist for Adam Idah to score.
That is, without a doubt, the standout assist of 2024 from any Celtic player, as Premier Sports have posted below.
