Samson Siasia's bid to take Efe Ambrose to the Olympics in Rio has
been quashed by Celtic coach, Brendan Rodgers who is in the midst of a
defensive crisis and is loathe to lose another defender.
Brendan Rodgers is
wrestling with injury problems in central defence, with Croatian Jozo Simunovic
and Dedryck Boyata likely to miss the start of the Scottish Premiership season.

Nigeria will play Japan in their first fixture on August 4, just 48
hours before Celtic begin their league campaign against Hearts.
With no FIFA

have told the 27-year-old he is needed at home for the opening weeks of the new
campaign.
Ambrose flew to Slovenia with the squad on Monday for a 10-day
pre-season camp.
