| Ian Black can't wait to welcome Blackburn Rovers to his new club at Tynecastle tomorrow. He had a trainee contract at Blackburn but he didn't make the grade and moved to Inverness Caledonian Thistle. The man who let midfielder Black go was Graeme Souness, who was sacked three months after Black moved on. Black said: "Ever since I left I've wanted to play Blackburn in a pre-season friendly. It will be a good test for us and obviously for myself having played for them. It was a good club and a good grounding for me. I enjoyed the experience but, when I got the chance to come back up to Inverness, I knew it was the right thing to do. David Dunn was breaking through when I was there and there are one or two others still around, although I'm not sure if they'll remember me. Blackburn's players will be of a high standard, we know that because they are an English Premier League club. The level of football down there is high but I'd like to give a good account of myself. You want to prove a point every time you play and tomorrow will be no different for me. It will be a good chance for me to show what I can do. The manager said at the start of pre-season that everyone will get their chance". |
