Nicolas Kuhn has been in great form for Celtic so far this season, hitting six goals and having provided nine assists for his teammates to this point.

In Sunday's 3-0 Scottish Premiership win over Motherwell, the German came off the bench to set up Adam Idah in the latter stages, while proving to be a thorn in the host's side on the right flank.

Celtic's attention turns to Dundee at Celtic Park this Wednesday evening in the league, before a trip to Hampden on Saturday against Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup semi-final.

After that, the Hoops play host to RB Leipzig in their next UEFA Champions League encounter – and Kuhn is preparing for a tough match under the Paradise lights, while also identifying the German side's high press as a particularly aggressive part of their game he and his peers will need to be wary of.

"I think it's good for us to be at home with our fans," he said. "I hope it's going to be a little bit different, that we also have our [goal scoring] situations, and I'm really looking forward to it.

"I think Leipzig is known for a lot of pressing, they want to play forward really fast. So that's in the future, now we will focus on the next game. They're a good team but we're at home so everything is possible."

When comparing Celtic's 7-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund to their hard-fought and well-earned 0-0 draw with Atalanta on Matchday Two and Three respectively, Kuhn said learning is key.

The German hopes to extend that learning into Celtic's season, both in Europe and domestically, and was delighted with the performance he and his teammates delivered in Bergamo.

"For all of us, no-one wants to experience a game like [Dortmund]. But we learned from it and I think the score was just way too high. Just everything went in, they got two penalties and at the end it looked really bad, so now [against Atalanta] we have done a lot better.

"Of course, [Dortmund] was a little bit in the mind going into the game in Italy. But after a while, after the first half, I think everyone was believing in it, that we can keep going and maybe even score the winner, so I think we're back on track."
