His style of play has won approval amongst the Hibs fans who have composed a song in his honour.
Despite the personal accolades, Ambrose insists that his focus is on taking all three points today against Queen of the South which , depending on results elsewhere mean that automatic promotion is secured .
He told Hibernian TV , “Winning the Championship Player of the Month was a good feeling but it’ s not about me at all.
“As you know football is a team effort and not individual so credit to the other players and I appreciate everyone helping me.
“When I came here I just wanted to do my best and help Hibs to get back to the top league. ”
The former Israel- based player added, “I don ’ t want to think about next season as it’ s so far away . Securing this season for us is the most important thing right now . ”
