The challenge Efe Ambrose will face should he proposed move to Hibs go through will be considerably less taxing that what he faced in the Premiership, or in Europe, with Celtic. Efe will go down in folklore as another African Cup of Nations enigma.
He was part of the heroic story against Barcelona in November 2012, before heading to the African Cup of Nations two months later. That tournament would see the player achieve the peak of his continent’s football Kilimanjaro. He played right back for champions, Nigeria.
That was on the Sunday. By the Tuesday he had been flown across the globe and made the starting line-up for Celtic in their Champions League last 16 game against Juventus. Two minutes into the game Efe was caught underneath the ball and out of position, Juventus exploited the lapse to the full.
As far as Efe’s time at the top goes, that was that. Since then his form has been on a pronounced downwards trajectory. The thing is, he’s still only 28. There was a player of considerable value in there one. If someone can bring focus to him, there may be again.
A word on matters relating to illness and medical information of our heroes…………
Pretty much everyone knew of Billy McNeill’s condition for some time but thankfully, it wasn’t subject to online speculation. There are a few guidelines on health matters which are worth observing:
Health is a private matter and should not be discussed online unless and until the person or family decide otherwise.
While we feel close to our heroes and will naturally want to offer support at a time of need, serious illness is the most private of matters, it is wholly inappropriate for a former footballer to hear his condition is a matter of public knowledge.
A bereavement should only be ‘revealed’ online by someone acting on the explicit instructions of the family. The unofficial release of this type of news is a very regretful manifestation of the internet age.
In recent years, we have seen many occasions of older celebrities’ deaths being incorrectly reported, then retweeted and retold thousands of times before it is denied. For an ill person and their family this can be a horrific experience.
The world can do without our condolences for a couple of hours until the family concerned have been able to contact all members.
These guidelines are scrupulously followed by the mainstream media in Scotland, who will hear of a footballer’s bereavement but hold the news – and prepare their reaction – until the family are ready.
For former-Celtic players, the club will usually be in touch with the family and release the news at the appropriate time. If you want to express your condolences, prepare your thoughts but hold until an official announcement.

I bit my tongue for a whole week.
It was Great hearing them saying Celtic are Too Good and they are dreading going to Celtic Park.
I was the only Tim and I kept a dignified silence. ;))
They were talking about Celtic taking 10 off them if Murty is there.
I’m in freaking Switzerland when this is going to happen. :((((((((((

Who’d miss a skiing holiday for a game against a newly-promoted, 4 year old club, miles behind in the title “race”?
Or is that a hate -manufacturing question?
Slalom, my friend.

Britain must decide who enters Britain.
Ireland must decide who enters Ireland.
Particularly after the plantation.
300 years ago.
Still division .
Can`t you see reasonable rational concerns ?
Surely.

Hugh paid for His DAUGHTERS wedding.
Celtic are WINNING.
Stop being Haters.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Celtic are so Good and So far ahead of Everyone Now.
Forgiving olde Hugh who has been working alongside some of the most bigoted haters of Celtic ever?
Sorry for saying any Celt is a Hater, I didn't mean that.
Apologies.

By the way if I have missed anyone from that list give me a shout!

Getting there, honest!
Besides, I have a charity thing to write as well and have been putting it off for weeks.

Hope you are not too busy!!

Nationalist socialism, the trumpet couldn’t have done it better with a moustache
Just before the empire endeavour begun Adolf needed his union of Dunning – Krugers, rectify his mistakes is the democrats curse and they blew that when they stopped asking why Clinton faced the trumpet, she was caught bang to rights fixing her win over Saunders.
Currently there is an unelected premier UK representative, UNELECTED, rather than accept the referendum as a vote of no confidence they just done an old switcheroo.
The meeja drivel about a trumpet, that was ELECTED, to deflect from Stupid FC peeple, while they watch the last vestige of justice turn into an oozlum bird, aye it’s awe about the trumpet, blame the game no the trumpet.
Aye Just canny wait to see Britain safe again up to our knees in muslim blood.
Mags,
I don’t trust people who cite eye for eye philosophy, guilty until proved innocent IMO. It’s a flaw in my nature and my comprehension of unfamiliar cultures.
Looks to me like the fenians are no aw deed yet. You don’t need to be up to your knees to question philosophy Shirley, just extreme, a bit like the anti democrats that don’t like being second :)
