Rodgers believes there's still more to come from 'really impressive' Celtic winger

Brendan Rodgers was really pleased to watch Celtic bounce back with a routine 3-0 victory over St Mirren, confidently brushing away any negativity from the defeat at Rangers a few days ago. 

Nicolas Kuhn continued his fine form by netting his 15th and 16th goals of the season during the rout at Parkhead, and the Celtic wingers contribution is showing why the Scottish Premiership leaders were so keen to bring him to Glasgow's east end on a five-and-a-half-year deal. 

"It was a very good afternoon for us," the Celtic manager told BBC Scotland.

"We are playing against a team that's very well organised and they've got some dangerous players.

"St Mirren have showed that throughout their campaign so far. We knew we were going to have to work really, really hard.

"The effort of the players, the movement of the players, the quality that they showed within the game was a really, really good level, and of course we score three, could have had one or two more.

"Overall, so, so pleased with the response."

We play with fast wingers who have the possibility to create goals and score goals because of how we play.

"For him and his numbers this season, it's really impressive."
