Heat oil in a large pot. Cook celery and scallions over medium heat, until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in both gingers, pepper and apple. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add stock, apple juice and squash. Bring to a boil over high heat. Partially cover and simmer about 20 minutes or until squash is very tender. Purée in blender or food processor until smooth. (If consistency is too thick add water or stock). Taste for salt and pepper. Serve, sprinkled with chives.
