Sproule isn’t afraid to admit where his allegiances will lie this weekend, revealing he’s already been on to former team-mate Scott Brown to ask the Celtic captain to let him know which other ex-players he can hope to bump into this weekend.
He said: “When I saw Hibs on their way I decided I was coming over. I’ve got a game on Saturday but I’ll fly over that night, stay in Glasgow and then come over the Edinburgh after the game – hopefully I can wangle an invite to the party!
“Ross County mean a lot, but Hibs got under my skin. They’re my club and always will be. And, yes, I’ll be looking out that leprechaun hat ready for Sunday.”

'Ross County mean a lot'. He was only there ten months.

He's showing a bit of respect - no less than I would expect from him. Originally Posted by iwasthere1972

Good read, thanks for posting that.
Hopefully wee Ivan will be in the crowd singing sunshine on Leith along with the rest of his fellow hibees on Sunday.

It's funny I remember reading an article printed by some dodgy rag stating that the only team Sproule would come back to watch in Scotland would be Rangers. Funny that.

Seem to recall laughing when a bunch of huns asked who the **** is THIS guy when he come on at the HMRCdome......
....they knew who he was after he battered three past the radges.
I always liked wee Ivan. I liked him even more after that hattrick

One of my all time favourite Hibs players. Unstoppable when on top form. Good to see he still loves the Hibs 💚

He needs to make his mind up. A few months ago he gave an interview saying he was a Rangers fan and would only be back as a fan to watch them.
He's always welcome at ER as far as I'm concerned though.

The last quote I seen from Ivan was on the anniversary of his hat trick, and he says "The only way I'll be back will be with my Hibs scarf on"... Originally Posted by Pretty Boy

The quote was certainly amended to say that. Not what the initial article said. Originally Posted by hibbysam

Anyway that's beside the point. Ivan Sproule can turn up at my house wearing a Rangers top and belting out the sash at the top of his lungs and he'd still be welcome because of that hat trick.

Couple of great sessions with Ivan and his family in the Volley when he was at Hibs.
Top lad!

He grew up a Rangers fan but after his time with us he saw the light.

Good read that, hopefully bump into him in one of the many establishments on Easter Road after the game
He is by far the fastest player I've seen at Easter Road, and could finish too. That was some team

What a guy, passion that truly is unrivalled. Genuine pleasure to have watched him in a Hibs strip.

Absolutely love the guy, top man.
One of my favourite players since I started watching Hibs over 20 years ago.

Remember a similar article which talked about how him and his son came back to sit in Ibrox with their Rangers scarves on Originally Posted by CallumLaidlaw

Was extremely disappointed with this.
