Kyle McClelland reckons it’s easy for youngsters to get lost at Rangers due to the sheer size of the club.
Struggling to see a path into the first team from the B team the defender made the difficult decision this summer to turn down a contract extension at Ibrox in favour of seeking a new route to the top. And after signing a three-year deal for Hibs, the 20-year-old is confident he can make his Premiership breakthrough – with a little help from Ryan Porteous.
McClelland, who ended a 13-year association with Rangers in the summer, was originally signed for Hibs’ development squad, But after the Northern Ireland youth international showed up well against Hartlepool and Burton for Lee Johnson’ s first team at their Algarve training camp last week, he is eyeing regular top-flight action. And with characters like Porteous leading the way, he’s confident he’s now in the right place.
