Well I'm going to put my tin hat on and tell you a story.

When Hibs played Rangers at Easter Road, my wee boy was mascot.
He was thrilled when he got to run out with his favourite player, Scott Allan.
In the tunnel, with the Hibs players on one side and Rangers on the other, my wee boy (then 6 years old) was asked by Allan "what do you think the score will be today"?
The wee man replied, I think it might be 1-0.
Scott Allan said to him, in full earshot of the Rangers team, "just one nil? for Hibs? Nah, we'll beat them more than that"
He made the wee man feel ten feet tall, and he wnet on to play Rangers midfield off the park.

It's easy to remember the way he left, and forget the sublime football he played when he was here.
I'd take him back in a second, he's been badly advised and could do with coming home.
I understand he was also at a few of our cup ties (inc two at Tynecastle) supporting Hibs and Stubbs last season.

If the opportunity arises for the guy to get a second chance, I'll be more than happy for him to get that chance.
Just my personal take on it, but he was a class act in my (albeit limited) direct experience of him.
He'd be welcome back home as far as I am concerned.
