Celtic have announced that defender Efe Ambrose will spend the rest of the season on an emergency loan at Hibernian, and Bhoys fans have had their say on the move.

The 28-year-old had fallen out of favour under manager Brendan Rodgers, appearing only twice – in the Champions League qualifying stages – and heading for a permanent exit when his contract expired this summer.

As it is, he will at least get some first-team football under his belt between now and May, before Celtic seemingly cut ties with a player who has generated plenty of criticism from the club’s supporters over the years.

Hibs are currently top of the Scottish Championship, seven points clear of second-placed Dundee United in the race for promotion, and Ambrose will no doubt be hoping to do enough to earn a permanent move if and when his new loan club return to the top flight.
