The wide man was hurting even more after the Dortmund defeat as he was desperate to impress in his homeland
Celtic were left red faced in the Rhineland last week and it was even more of a riddy for Nicolas Kuhn after being determined to front up in his homeland.
The former Bayern Munich and Ajax product said: “That was not our real face. We lost to the finalists of the Champions League and if you are not 100 percent on it they will take their chances. We talked a lot about it and it is done and we just focus on the games coming up. He said: “I think we showed it before in the Chelsea game in pre-season 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 can wait for now though as Celtic need to keep taking care of Premiership business with red-hot Aberdeen on their shoulders and Rangers putting a post Old Firm defeat run together. Kuhn’s superb strike came from a deadly through ball from Alistair Johnston but the wide man was smart enough to take on the riskier option rather than play in pal Kyogo. It was the right call as his winner sparked wild celebrations – and fears he could be shown a second yellow card for going to the crowd.
“Did I think I would get a red card? Not really. The first booking was not deserved. So I didn't think about being sent off. 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.”
