Efe Ambrose’s teammate at Celtic Football Club, Leigh Griffiths, has said it will be a straight battle between him and the Nigerian in Wednesday’s friendly at Craven Cottage, the home ground of Fulham.
Griffiths’ tussle with Ambrose is likely to be closely watched as the striker chases his first goal at full international level.
He said: “My aim is to make myself a part of the manager’s plans going in to the qualifying campaign and I’ll be looking to make an impact if I get the chance to play against Nigeria.
“It’s the last match before the qualifiers start and we all want to end the season on a high, and keep the good run of results, and performances, going in to the competitive matches.
“I hear there are a good few thousand Scotland fans coming down. The supporters always travel in numbers and we’ll be looking to thank them by putting on a good performance.”
Meanwhile, Griffiths is still the subject of a police report and SFA investigation, but despite those issues he has remained in Gordon Strachan’s squad and was chosen by the SFA to preview the clash with Nigeria.
Scott Brown and Charlie Mulgrew are also in the Scotland squad.
