In December 2015, Eboue signed a new contract with Krasnodar. Eboue made his debut for Krasnodar on 21 May 2016, in a 1–0 victory against Amkar Perm in the Russian Premier League. He became a regular the following season, 2016–17, playing in a total of 18 matches by the end of December 2016 and helping his side to fifth place in the league. During this time, Eboue also scored his first goal; opening the scoring in a 3–0 win over Maltese side Birkirkara in a UEFA Europa League tie on 4 August 2016.

Celtic

On 3 January 2017, it was reported that Scottish Premiership club Celtic had agreed a transfer fee of around £3 million with Krasnodar to sign Eboue. Celtic announced the signing of Eboue on a four-year-contract, subject to obtaining a visa, on 12 January 2017.

Eboue was called up to the Ivory Coast national team for the first time in November 2016, for a 2018 World Cup qualification match against Morocco and a friendly against France. However, he was an unused substitute in both matches.
