Out of
favour Super Eagles defender Efe Ambrose has been declared wanted by his
Scottish League side Hibernian. Ambrose
who incidentally contributed in no small measure to getting the side into the
premier league is yet to show face at training and the technical crew does not
consider it a laughing matter.
Hibernian
manager Neil Lennon who is eager to begin very serious preparation for next
season is furious with the Nigerian international insisting that his absence
amounts to pulling back the hands of the clock while giving a hint that the 28
year old will may face the hammer on return.
“There’s no
sign of Efe – so he is in a bit of trouble with the manager now. I can’t get a
hold of him at all,” Lennon told Edinburgh News.
“He was
given a wee bit of time off, but I think he is pushing the boundaries at the
minute. The sooner he is back, for his sake, the better.
“I expected
him back a lot sooner than this and it will be getting discussed behind closed
doors. He’s got that to look forward to when he gets back!''
Ambrose who
made 113 appearances for 48-time Scottish league champions Celtic scoring five goals
before moving on loan to championship side Hibernian. He scored his first goal
for the side in a 2-1 win against Falkirk and won Scottish Championship player
of the month award in March 2017. He
subsequently signed a two year contract with Hibernian and fired the side to
premier league promotion.
The
newly-promoted Scottish side were 2-0 victorious over Berwick Rangers in their
build-up to Saturday's League Cup encounter against Montrose.
