Joël Landry Tsafack Nguémo (28 November 1985 – 27 June 2024) was a Cameroonian professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder for Nancy, Bordeaux and Saint-Étienne in France and for Scottish club Celtic on loan.
[citation needed] After days of speculation, on 16 July 2009, Nguémo completed a one-year loan move to Celtic with an option to make it permanent.
[3] He made his competitive debut in the first leg of a Champions League qualifying tie against Dynamo Moscow in Glasgow, losing 1–0.
[4] He was also part of the team that won 2–0 in the return leg in Moscow,[5] sending Celtic through to play Arsenal in the final qualifier for the Champions League.
[7] At the end of his loan period the two clubs were unable to agree a transfer fee for Nguémo and so he returned to AS Nancy.
