Nicolas Kuhn believes the Celtic squad have grown even closer over the summer… to the degree he’s questioning Anthony Ralston‘s dancing ability.
After a self-professed “difficult” start, coming in mid-season, the wiry winger is enjoying his football after a fruitful pre-season and a goal on flag day against Kilmarnock.
“It was really important to start well,” Kuhn said. “We continued what we did in the pre-season games. We scored four goals every game, so we hope it’s going to keep going like that.
“We got even closer together in pre-season. You can’t hide from each other. You have to see everyone each day. So it was a really good pre-season and now we’re happy to be back in Glasgow.
“It was a little bit difficult for me coming in the winter, but now I’m getting used to the team. They know what I’m able to do so I’m just happy.”
The team spirit was on show on Sunday as Kuhn celebrated his goal with a choreographed dance with Kyogo Furuhashi and Matt O’Riley.
“One of us had to score to do the celebration,” Kuhn said. “We knew before what we wanted to do. So I’m happy that I scored.
“We listened to some Japanese music in the dressing room, and then Kyogo came up with the dance, and so we said we’re going to do the dance.
“There’s a group of really, really nice boys and I’m just happy to be here.”
That happiness was apparent when he and the rest of the team celebrated Ralston’s first league goal in more than two years.
“We were really happy for Tony that he scored at the end,” he added. I think it just shows that we share the joy and are happy for everyone.”
But why was there no dance routine then?
“I don’t think Tony can dance. I think he has to score some more goals and then maybe he gets into dancing.”
