Former Players: Echiejile to play in the Champions League?

Since he left Rennes in June, Elderson Echiejile seems to know adapt very well to his new club, Sporting Braga (Portugal). Qualified for the Champion’s League 3rd qualifying round, the Portuguese managed the great performance of ousting the Celtic Glasgow over the two games. Clears winner on the first leg, 3-0 with a goal by Echiejile, the Sporting Braga managed to stay in control at Celtic Park, losing 2-1 and qualifying on aggregate.

Tired with the player’s permanent legal issues, the Stade Rennais decided not to extend Echiejile’s contract in June. Back from playing the World Cup with Nigeria, he signed a four year contract at Braga, second of the last Portuguese league. A sweet revenge for the “Super Eagle”, now only two games away from the Champion’s League group phase.
