Arne Engels earned the man of the match award for his performance in Celtic's 2-0 win over Dundee United on Thursday.
The £11million summer signing struggled to justify his hefty price tag during his first few months at Parkhead.
But the Belgian midfielder has become a consistent contributor to Brendan Rodgers' first XI in recent weeks, registering five goals and nine assists from his 29 appearances in total.
Speaking to Celtic TV, Engels, who created the most chances against United, said: "It's a very busy schedule, every three days there's a game. I enjoy it and it's amazing to play those games with this team.
"You see that we are working really hard every day to recover our bodies and we are doing really well.
"I'm trying my best [to have an influence] but the most important thing are the three points. We are moving so quickly and the games are coming to quickly that it's really important to keep on doing the qualities and keep on doing what you need to do.
"I'm really happy to be able to help the team with that."

Discussing his midfielder's performance, Celtic manager Rodgers said: "He's working very hard now he's in the flow of how we work and how we play.
"His hard work is paying off for him, so I'm delighted for him."
Celtic captain Callum McGregor, who was handing the MOTM accolade over to Engels, added: “This guy has been fantastic since he walked through the door.
“A big price tag and a big expectation - but he has handled it so well.
“He is a down to earth kid as well. He just keeps getting stronger and stronger. He is a team player and you need that to be a Celtic player.
“I am really happy for him. He is making great strides and a top player."
