Ross Caldwell thanks Hibs fans for support
The youngster made his first competitive start for the Easter Road club in the 2-2 draw with Inverness at the weekend after the decision was taken to leave Leigh Griffiths out because of an ankle problem.
Caldwell, 18, was delighted to get the nod ahead of veteran striker Shefki Kuqi and also by the reception the home support gave the team as they made it six league games unbeaten.

“Last year we were nowhere near as good as we are now but it’s a case of keeping it going. We feel we are only going to get better. It’s a new team, we’ve a lot of new players in the squad and as we gel together hopefully we’ll keep it going and be at the right end of the table come the end of the season.”
