Former Celtic midfielder Landry Nguemo has passed away at the age of 38.
Having played at Celtic Park under then manager Tony Mowbray during the 2009/10 season, on loan from Nancy, Ngeumo also turned out for the likes of Bordeaux, Saint-Etienne and Turkish side Akhisar Belediyespor.
Despite making 35 appearances for the club throughout the 2009/10 campaign, Celtic and Nancy failed to agree terms at the end of the player's option-to-buy loan period and he returned to his parent club in the summer of 2010.
Born in Cameroon, Nguemo accrued 41 caps his national team, scoring three goals between 2006 and 2014.
FootballMercato reports the 38-year-old was killed during a road accident.
Former club Saint-Etienne paid tribute to the player on social media.
🖤 Landry Nguemo nous a quittés. Bien trop tôt, bien trop brutalement.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
