Efe Ambrose: Livingston defender’s reunion with Celtic ends in defeat

Efe Ambrose’s return to Parkhead ended on a sour note as Livingston lost 3-2 to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon.

The 31-year-old Nigerian played for the Bhoys between 2012 and 2017, making 169 appearances in all competitions, scoring six goals and providing 10 assists and winning six titles that included four Premiership crowns, one Scottish League Cup and one Scottish Cup.

It looked like Livingston were up for some giant-killing at Celtic Park when Jason Holt gave them the lead in the 16th minute from the penalty spot. Those hopes only lasted a few moments as Callum McGregor equalised for Celtic four minutes later before Ryan Christie established a 2-1 lead in the 23rd minute.
