Celtic coach, John Kennedy, has hailed Efe Ambrose for his performances for the team in recent times.
The Nigerian returned to his preferred centre-back role, following the departure of Virgil van Dijk and injury to new signing Jozo Simunovic, and in the process Neil Lennon’s side have kept three consecutive clean sheets.
Though Efe got the marching order against Hearts on Saturday, Kennedy feels the former FC Ashdod player is beginning to show his worth to the club.
“Efe has come in and done really well for us. He’s been patient,” Kennedy said.
“He’s been patient. He has found himself out of the team when maybe he thought he might have had a chance, but he has trained well and he has certainly come in and done a great job for us in recent weeks. So, there is competition there as well.
“He has done it under Neil Lennon for a long time,” he added.
“He has made some errors in the past, as all players do. He has probably been unfortunate at times to find himself out the team.
“But he is a great professional, a terrific player to work with, and when he concentrates he can put in good performances like he has shown in recent weeks,” he concluded.
