Everything Celtic midfielder Arne Engels said to the media ahead of Celtic's Champions League match versus Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday in Germany...

Arne, tell us how excited you are to come to this iconic stadium and to take on such a great team in the Champions League?

It’s always amazing to be here. It’s also amazing to be back for me, because I played here a few times. It’s amazing to be at this stadium, and it’s going to be nice to tomorrow. The atmosphere will be there, so there are all positive points to come here and play here.

What will you be telling your teammates about how you handle the atmosphere here and relish it, rather than be overcome and overawed by it?

I don’t really know, I didn’t speak to a lot of guys about it because they know it and we have an amazing atmosphere in Celtic Park. It’s kind of the same but everybody knows how to handle it. If you can play in Celtic Park, you can play everywhere.

Where do you think this Dortmund team is at the moment? They made the final last season but have lost a few players. How do you analyse how strong they are just now?

They’re a really good team. You see it in the league where they are playing. They’re always a good team to play against. I think they’ll be a good team and it is going to be a good game for us also. It’s a strong opponent but we are also in a good way, so it’s going to be good.

Arne, is it right that you made your debut for Augsburg at Borussia Dortmund?

It was amazing! I came from the second division in Belgium, so coming here in front of 80,000 people was amazing. It was quite a crazy game - 4-3 to Dortmund, but it was amazing to be here and it’s close to Belgium so all my family was here. It was really great to get my debut here and to perform like this.

Do you feel that this time you’ll be coming to the stadium a more experienced player?

I hope so! Otherwise, I didn’t do a good job in two years! It’s going to be good, it’s good that I know the stadium but we just need to perform and look to ourselves. That’s what we are doing really well at the moment. We are sticking to the basics and we’re in a good mood - we want to do the same thing tomorrow.

Is there a belief that you can come here and win?

I think it’s in every game. If you don’t have the belief then you’re better not coming here and staying home. We want to come here and win. It’s the same in every competition. You always need this kind of mindset.

Where do you think this team is in terms of mindset and quality compared to Dortmund?

I think everybody is really focused on their jobs and that’s what makes us really strong as a team. We are setting the standards every day for ourselves and doing a good job with that. Now, it is up to us to just show it like we do every week.

You earned plaudits as a team from the first game, what statement would it send if you were to get a result here tomorrow?

We don’t want to set a statement, we just want to perform and do our best. That’s what we are doing well in this competition and in the cups. We just want to perform at our best.

Is life at Celtic what you thought it would be like so far? Has it exceeded expectations?

Much more! It’s been an amazing few weeks for me, to come here to Celtic. Everybody is so nice to me and the people and players at the club are helping me. That’s really nice and that’s a really good feeling for me also.

Does a night like tomorrow justify your decision to come to Celtic?

It’s a nice bonus, but it’s not the only reason that I came to Celtic. It’s also because it’s a really amazing club and the fans are amazing. It’s a really nice bonus, it’s nice to play in the Champions League. I hope we do good and I think we will do good, so it’s going to be nice.
