Nigeria star Ambrose may miss Celtic's Juventus clash

Nigeria's progress in the African Cup of Nations will determine whether or not Efe Ambrose plays in the Champions League for Celtic next week.

The Super Eagles take on Mali in the semi-final on Wednesday and regardless of the result, will again play on the weekend in either the third-place playoff or the final.

If Nigeria make it to Sunday's final, Ambrose will return to Glasgow on the same day as the Champions League Round of 16 first leg with Juventus at Parkhead on Tuesday whilst Saturday's playoff will see him link up with the Hoops a little over 24 hours prior to the match.
