EFE Ambrose's proposed loan move from Celtic to English Championship Blackburn Rovers is set the hit the rocks.
Reports from England informed that the transfer is awaiting an English FA ruling over a work permit for the Super Eagles defender.
The Scottish FA says the paperwork for the player who joined Celtic from Ashdod in 2012 was completed in time before the 23:00 GMT Tuesday deadline.
But their English counterparts have different rules regarding work permits.
And the 28-year-old, who has played 51 times for his country, does not automatically meet the FA's criteria.
