    Sure we only played R. Rovers but he certainly looks the part. Very comfortable with the ball at his feet and aware of what is going on around him. Another selection headache for the manager when everyone is available, a good problem to have though.

    I don't want to get too carried away, and I realise he's only played one match against a poor team like Raith Rovers, but I was really impressed with Ambrose the other night. I think it will be interesting to see play him at the back.

    With him and big vics ability to play CM and CB hopefully things are looking more secure early days but from the footage ive seen of him he looks very composed looks another good signing from lenny and co. keep em comin lhads HH

    Interestingly he himself sees his best position as centre half, if that is the case I can see him swapping with Vic when he starts charging forward and making passes.

    If he is better in defence than he was in midfield we have an absolute superstar in the making.

    I know it's Raith but efe's ability to retain possession is amazing.... holds in when theres danger and, importantly, he moves it on quickly when he has the chance... his driving runs also raise the tempo.

    English is the official language of Nigeria. It is also the language of most Nigerian schools, businesses and the Nigerian media.

    We should start calling him Curtly in honour of the might West Indies fast bowler.

    I dont know how to get the videos off it but I thing T.Rogne or something on here can ask him, I think he has Celtic TV sure I seen him saying something the other night about him making a video. Its the Huddle from the 26th of September.

    At the end he says in a weird voice "because im the kind of player who likes fighting..... and to win!" :56:one of the funniest things ive seen in an interview just the way he whispers "and to win".

    This questioning African footballers is verging on ridiculous now :56:

    He has came back from major heart surgery, he's had a hard life mate.

    I didn't know about the heart surgery! When was that?

    Nah, I was just saying. I'm 23 and he looks like he could be ma da.

    If I was tall and black, obviously.

    Could he be the CB we've been waiting on for seasons now? He seems to have very good ball control, clean passing and clever positioning, perhaps good enough for a DM role if needed? His real test is coming up shortly when play away to 'Well and Moscow.

    Looking good on that debut :)

    Aye African players always get questioned for their age :smiley-laughing002:

    A lot of our players look older than they are, Africans probably think McGeouch, McCourt and Stokes are in their 30s.
