Nicolas Kuhn Explains How Celtic Didn’t Show Their “Real face” vs Dortmund

Celtic’s weekend goal hero, Nicolas Kuhn, has explained how the Hoops didn’t show their true identity last Tuesday against Borussia Dortmund.

The Bhoys Travelled to Germany quietly confident of getting a result amidst their perfect start to the season.

What transpired, though, was beyond their wildest dreams in all the wrong ways.

Indeed, everything that could have gone wrong for the Bhoys did as the Bundesliga giants put them to shame in a dominant 7-1 victory.

Dortmund found their rhythm against Celtic and scored goal after goal.

It was an embarrassing evening for the players, who had to bounce back against Ross County at the weekend.

Trips to Dingwall aren’t the most glamorous, and although the Hoops initially struggled on Sunday, they eventually pulled through courtesy of goals from Alistair Johnston and Kuhn.

The German winger has been lighting it up this season and explained how he and his teaMMAtes didn’t give a true account of themselves last Tuesday evening.

“That was not our real face,” he said (The Celtic Way).

“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.”

Aside from the mauling off Dortmund, Celtic have been near-on impeccable at the start of the new season.

They have won every game they’ve played domestically and look like a force to be reckoned with.

In the next block of fixtures after the current international break, their mettle will be truly tested with seven Games in the space of 21 days.

The Scottish Premiership champions return to action a week on Saturday with a table-topping clash against Aberdeen, who are on an impeccable run at the minute.

They then Travel to Bergamo before matches against Motherwell, Dundee, the Dons once more, RB Leipzig, and Kilmarnock.

Rodgers will use his full squad in an arduous run of Games, which will test his side’s perfect domestic record.
