Everything that Nicolas Kuhn said to the media after Celtic's 2-1 Scottish Premiership win against Ross County in Dingwall on Sunday afternoon...


How did it feel when the goal went in at the end?

It felt really good. It wasn't a great first half but we got the three points in the end

What did you think that hard first half was down to?  A lot of effort was put into midweek was there a Euro hangover from that game?

I think we focused just on this game. For us, the passing was a little bit too slow, the final pass was missing, and I think we made it a little bit difficult for ourselves. But we talked about it at half-time and we did much better in the second half. The manager (Brendan Rodgers) talked about the resilience and the belief, the attitude that this team has. He always puts us down to earth. We have to focus on every game. We just keep going and see what the next game is, and we have to get the three points.

Did you see Kyogo make his run before you scored as he was offside?

I saw him, but I thought he was maybe offside, so I didn't cross it, and it worked out well. I think at the end we did a good job. Just as I said, the first half was not how we wanted it, but we showed great mentality and got the win at the end.

That's six goals and eight assists, so far are you pleased with that?

Yes, of course, that is good.

Do you play fantasy football as that is a lot of points in terms of goals and assists?

Yes, I do.

You have had a cutting edge and end product to your game. How have you managed that?

We worked a lot in training on it, and getting a full pre-season was important to get the connection with everyone.

How do you feel that the start of the season has gone despite the Dortmund result?

That was not our real face. It was last year's finalist of the Champions League, and if you're not 100 per cent there, they're going to take advantage. We talked a lot about it, but now it's done, and we're just going to focus on the next games. The start, except for that game, has been unbelievable.

How much did you enjoy the moment with the Celtic fans when you scored and the connection that you have built with them?

I really enjoyed it and it was amazing to celebrate with them at the end. I was just happy we got the three points in the end as it was really important to go into the international break with a win.

Did you worry that you were going to get sent off for a second booking?

Not really. The first booking was not deserved. I didn't think about being sent off.

How difficult was that experience going home to Germany and suffering a defeat like that and was that part of the motivation to do well against Ross County?

Yes, for me personally, it was really difficult as I wanted to have a good game there. It was not to be and that's how it is now. I spoke to the manager about it and he told me to keep going and that's what we did.

You have RB Leipzig soon and another chance to shine against the Germans, haven't you?

Yes. It is at home this time and we just have to do better.

You said it wasn't Celtic's real face in Germany. People say it was a bad night, it is Scottish football. Are you better than that?

I think we showed it before in the first Champions League game that we are a better team than that. I think everything was against us in Dortmund and we have a lot of games to go and we need to do better.

The Champions League is a new experience for a lot of the guys. Do you need time to adjust to it and perform in it?

That's a factor we are going to work on. For a lot of the guys, it is their first experience of the Champions League. We played a good team in a big stadium and if you make lots of mistakes then they will punish you. That is what happened and we have to bounce back from it and take a lesson.

Do you just have to put it to bed and move on and get it out of the system? The season won't be defined by this one result.

Exactly, at the end of the game, we just lost three points and we conceded too many goals that much is clear but we have six games to go.
