Officials of Celtic had before now decided to leave the Nigerian defender at home as they were not sure if he had served his ban for a red card in the first leg of the third qualifying round clash against Legia Warsaw.
The Super Eagles defender was shown a straight red in Poland and ruled out of the second leg at Murrayfield.
With Adam Matthews is out, leaving Celtic short of defenders, the rejected pillar, Ambrose has now become the cornerstone and will be flying from Glasgow Wednesday morning and be asked to take his place in the Celtic back-line.
Celtic Manager Rony Deila confirmed the mix-up and said: “He (Ambrose) didn’t travel. He is coming tomorrow morning.
“In the beginning there were some communication problems, if he was ready or not.
“We didn’t think he was ready because he got two matches, but in the end it was one match.
Ambrose gave a good account of himself in Celtic’s big win in the League over the weekend; providing one of the assist for the goals scored.
Fans will hope to see another flawless performance from Ambrose or he risks fresh backlash from the passionate Celtic fans.
