Celtic cult hero set for January return to Paradise | OneFootball

Celtic cult hero Efe Ambrose will return to Celtic Park in January after Ange Postecoglou’s side were drawn against Greenock Morton in the Scottish Cup. The Championship side will visit Glasgow’s East End on the weekend of the 21st of January 2023.

Ambrose spent five years at Celtic, working under Neil Lennon, Ronny Deila and Brendan Rodgers. The versatile central defender will be able to impart his vast knowledge of the game to youngsters while looking to seal a Premiership return for the Greenock side.

At 33, Ambrose has a lot of playing left in him but he has already begun a gradual transition into life after football by coaching and helping young players come through at Livi. Ambrose left Celtic with 4 Premierships and 1 of each the League Cup and Scottish Cup.

Ambrose has played for Hibs, Livingston and St Johnstone since leaving Celtic in 2017. The former Nigerian Internationalist decided to stay in Scotland in order to gain citizenship for himself and his family and he is fondly remembered by the Celtic support. In truth, he was an excellent player when he first came to the club but suffered through fans getting on his back at various points.
