Forgotten Super Eagles defender, Efe Ambrose, is hoping to gatecrash Gernot Rohr’s Super Eagles squad to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Ambrose, 29, hasn’t featured for the national side since facing Egypt almost two years ago but he boasts 51 caps and an Africa Cup of Nations winners’ medal.
The ex-Celtic star has been in sensational form since joining Hibbs last year.
He is hoping his fine form at Easter Road will potentially lead to a call-up for his second Mundial in Russia.
“Coming back into the national team would be a great achievement and feeling,” Ambrose told his club’s official website on Wednesday.
“To pull on that green-and-white shirt again would be my dream.
“My country gave me the platform to get to where I am today so representing them again would be the best thing that could happen in my career. There is more I can give and more I can achieve. I will never say never.
“I have achieved so many aspirations with my national team, the Olympics, the Under-20s, the Confederations Cup, winning the Nations Cup and playing in the World Cup. I have a lot of good experiences.
“I just want to keep my form going and make sure I am in good shape, that is the most important thing. From there it is up to the gaffer to select me.
“If he sees me playing like I have been and wants to call upon my experience for the World Cup, then why not? That would be my dream because it has been too long since I was part of the national team.”
Nigeria is drawn in Group D alongside Argentina, Croatia and Iceland.
