He's one I singled out to behave stubbornly (3,2,4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dig in ones heels

'behave stubbornly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'he's one i singled out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'hes'+'one'+'i'+'singled'='hesoneisingled'
'hesoneisingled' is an anagram of 'DIG IN ONES HEELS'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for dig in ones heels that I've seen before include "make an impression at grass-roots level?" , "Be very stubborn" .)
