Goal contacted the 28-year-old’s sibling, Emmanuel Ambrose, who claimed the former Celtic player is in good condition but snubbed further information about his whereabouts.

''For now, I cannot tell you where my brother is because he did not give me permission to do that,’’ he told Goal.

''Well, he is fine and there is no problem. I don't have any idea on when he will join his club.''

Ambrose played ten games plus a goal as Hibernian got promotion to the Scottish Premier League.
