However, Billiat has not been able to replicate that form for his new team, having registered just one goal and one assist in eight encounters.
"Well, I wouldn’t really want to focus on Khama Billiat alone, but my personal feeling is that the team has been playing very well,” said Ndiraya, as per Pan African Football.
“Competition has been very high for Billiat and everyone else. It’s different from last season.
“I think if you look at our players now, they’re exhausted. We knew that was going to happen, but what was important for us was to get the results under those conditions.
"And I’m happy that the players did their best. They have always fought hard.”
Scotland find themselves in fifth spot on the Premier League standings after eight matches played.
