Mika Baur has praised his Celtic teammates for helping him adjust quickly to life in Glasgow.

The German midfielder made his first start in last week's Champions League play-off against LASK and looked comfortable despite the recent sale of Arne Engels to West Ham United.

Baur, 22, said captain Callum McGregor has been key to his smooth transition. "Callum really helped me," Baur said. "It’s not like I can tell you exactly what he said to me.

"It’s more like some tips during the match, before, after, and during the break - just small details, but they helped me a lot to feel comfortable."

Baur also applauded Benjamin Nygren, who has made a blistering start to the season, for his support.

The Swedish midfielder, who joined from Nordsjaelland last summer, has scored four goals and bagged four assists in as many appearances so far this season, including the opener against LASK.

"He’s an incredible player," Baur said of Nygren. "He’s so good on the ball. Also, his work rate is quite high. He also speaks a lot with me.

"He helps me, and I really enjoy playing with him."

Nygren, who netted 21 goals and provided nine assists last season, has carried his form into the new campaign. His performances have also caught the eye of his teammates, including Baur.
