Former Nigeria national football team defender Efe Ambrose says his time at Celtic remains the most defining period of his career.
Ambrose joined the Scottish champions in 2012 and quickly became a key member of the squad during his spell at Celtic Park.
Although he initially arrived as a midfielder, the Nigerian international later adapted to a defensive role, featuring both as a right-back and a centre-back.
Over five seasons with the Glasgow club, Ambrose made 168 appearances and helped the team secure several domestic titles.
