Ross: I'm So Glad I Made Hibs Switch

Mar 9 2008

HIBS rookie Ross Campbell dreamed of playing at Ibrox when he trained with Rangers as a kid.

That wish could come true today but not in the way he expected as Hibees head to Glasgow looking to knock Rangers out of the Scottish Cup.

Campbell was invited to play with Gers youth set-up when he was 11 but opted for Hibs when the Ibrox club released him two years later - and hasn't looked back since.

Ross, 20, said: "Normally young players are devastated when they are told a club like Rangers is letting them go but that wasn't the case with me.

"I was happy to go to Hibs. I was looking to the future and knew they had a reputation for bringing through youth players.

"At Rangers there isn't as much chance of breaking into the top team at 20 as there is here at Hibs.

"I've never been involved in a first-team game against Rangers at Ibrox but feel I'm ready now."
