Celtic defender Kelvin Wilson has backed team-mate Efe Ambrose to recover from his horror show against Juventus.
.
Ambrose, who rushed back from the Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria to face Juventus, turned in a miserable display against the Italian champions as he was at fault for two goals and also missed a golden opportunity to score.
.
However, Ambrose's central defensive partner Wilson is confident the Nigerian will bounce back from his disappointment.
.
"Efe's a big boy," said Wilson. "He'll recover from it.
.
"We all have situations like that and unfortunately Efe's had it against Juventus.
.
"Efe's got great experience, he's just won the Africa Cup of Nations and he'll bounce back from it no problem."
.
Wilson admits he was not surprised by Celtic boss Neil Lennon's decision to start Ambrose after revealing the defender looked fine in training on the morning of the game.
.
"He trained with us on Tuesday morning and he seemed fine. He had a spring in his step," added Ambrose.
.
"The gaffer thought so, too, and that's his job.
.
"He started and I wasn't surprised. I don't think anyone was."
the horror show was just due to fatigue, he'll improve in his next game
