i've absolutely no idea why :confused: it's also the first time i've heard him even mentioning a football team, i'm not a great tennis fan so i've heard very few interviews :)

Because everyone supports one of the Old Firm!

I believe Andy trained or trialled with Ranges when he was younger.

I don't think he's ever made any secret of who is team are though.

Indeed he did.

Roy Erskine played in the Hibs youth team but did not make a first team appearance.

So he 'played' for us more than in the sense that Gordon Ramsey played for Rangers but less than in the sense that Derek Acorah played for Liverpool?

A bit of perspective -

He was with Hibs for 2 seasons from 1952-54 regularly playing Centre-half in the B and C teams.

There were no substitutes in those days so breaking into the first team wasn't easy - especially in a Championship contending side with Internationals in his position

The first season, Jock Paterson was CH and he only missed 2 games through injury (he was replaced by Hugh Howie (regular Left-back) who had been on Hibs books since 1942 when he played alongside Sir Matt Busby.

The second season, Paterson was moved to Left-back and Hugh Howie played Centre-half until his career was ended on health grounds and Pat Ward (signed in 1948) took over until he signed for Leicester in 1955.

Roy moved on via Peebles and Stirling to Cowdenbeath where he played 35 first team games including a League Cup Quarter Final.

So actually more of a player than both Ramsey and Acorah? Fair play to the man.

Rangers must have put him off for life. Really hoping he can win more grand slams

He was in Barcelona at the same time rangers played there a few years ago and agreed to wear a rangers top at a media event. Hope he regrets it

A google of "Andy Murray Rangers" comes up with nothing for images but "Andy Murray hibs" shows the pictures of him on the club site here http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/20120911/hibees-support-andy-murray_2262950_2916011 and here aged 5 in his full hibs strip with Keith Wright http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01510/SNA1810ANDY---_1510876a.jpg

I'm always amazed at the media and general obsession with what football team other sportsmen and women support.

If Andy Murray is a Hibs fan then that's all well and good but frankly I wouldn't want him to win any less if he wasn't.

Does anyone know or care who Leigh Griffiths favourite boxer is? What about James McPake, who's his favourite F1 team?

True mate. This country has become celebrity daft and its irritating but that's an argument for another thread I guess! Look he says he is a hibs fan, that's all hat matters

Andy murrays book has quite a few pictures of him as a kid wearing the terrible 90's kits in it.

This came from Andy himself during an interview at the Olympics.

When he was 15 he was training with the Huns and showing a lot of promise. However he was also turning out to be a talented tennis player.

One day his dad went to pick him up from the tennis court to take him football training, it was then that Andy said he preferred tennis. The rest is history as they say....

To be honest as much as I despise rangers, if my son was invited to have a trial at a football club like theirs with the potential of a professional football contract and career I'd be cock a hoop!

James McPake is absolutely obsessed with Force India.

Derek Acorah played for Liverpool?

a tad off topic, but, my old car mechanic through here in bathgate told me years ago on a few occasions that he played for hibs and it was only the legend that is jimmy o'rourke that kept him out of the first team, could you look up the name norman petrie please :greengrin

I had occasion to dig this out when some fud claimed he was a Rangers fan on The Scotsman pages

Not sure I approve of the reasons he gives though :greengrin
