Hill eager to boost medal collection
RANGERS defender Clint Hill has targeted victory over Morton in the William Hill Scottish Cup fifth-round on Sunday as he looks to end the campaign with a winners’ medal.
The 38-year-old joined Gers last summer with only medals from the English Championship and Championship play-off final in 2011 and 2014 respectively, both with QPR, and a League Cup runners-up medal from the 2000 final with Tranmere.
The possibility of adding to his collection was one of the reasons Hill moved to Ibrox in the summer and with the Light Blues 27 points behind Premiership leaders Celtic, he acknowledged the last realistic chance of winning something this season comes in the cup.
He told Rangers TV: “It’s another chance to win silverware and fill out the trophy room.
“It’s really our last effort at getting some silverware this season and we need to hit the ground running, and we know how important it is for everyone at this club to get the right result.
“My medal collection is not very full to be honest – there are a couple in there – but that was one of the main attractions of coming here, to compete and to get in finals.”
Manager Mark Warburton and his side are under some pressure after failing, for the third time this season, to beat Ross County in the Premiership last Saturday with the game at Ibrox ending in a 1-1 draw.
Hill is determined to make amends this weekend at Ibrox against Jim Duffy’s side.
He said: “It’s just another game to try to win. Unfortunately we couldn’t do that on Saturday. Hopefully we can cut out the sloppiness and take the chances we do create and hopefully give everyone a good afternoon.”
