Can't see Rangers, or many other clubs, wanting a recruit a proven disruptive influence. Maybe, Cathro can sort him out with his laptop!

Nobody knows what other options he had. Let's agree it was a good fit for each other at the time. But if we agreed to let him move on to a club that can treble his wages at least on a bigger stage I can see both points of the arguenebt. Fact is Stubbs took him to Rotherham so it couldn't have been "that" big an issue to him. It was more of a press thing against Hibs more than anything else, he didn't once come out and say publicly he wanted to move to Rangers.

No, hibs weren't doing him a charitable favour either. It was a good fit at the time and we got lucky getting him at that level. I'm sure he could have went to the prem very easily.

Coupling that with his conduct or what he allowed to happen on his behalf in his desire to be a the rangers player and I'd say he's nowhere near worth the risk as at now

I do think that getting Allan was a bit of a coup for Hibs, even if he didn't have many options at that time.
I bought my season ticket off the back of us getting Allan. I hadn't renewed under Butcher and didn't really have any intention of going back that season. But when I saw Stubbs' intention to pass the ball in our friendlies, then we signed Allan I immediately got on board.
I saw him play for Scotland under 21s a few years ago and he was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch. I was delighted when we signed him and tbh his performances didn't let us down. He even played well after he'd handed in his transfer request.
I do think he's a clown and any chance he has of future success depends on whether he chooses to "screw the nut" at some point or not.

No thanks. He's wasted his talent.
We got Dylan and Hendo as part of the deal and what a contribution they made.
I'd go as far as saying, if we had Allan on the corners at Hampden, it would have been a half arsed attempt to cross into the box and fail to beat first man.
He can rot.

Yes, imagine the cheek of us not selling our best player to our biggest title rivals, how very dare we not bend over to rangers

Ww have more than moved on, we are doing pretty well without him and I am sure Lennon is capable of improving us further.
Allan would improve us but so would Messi. I have certainly moved passed Allan big deal he is good so are 100s of other players who hopefully have a bit more respect.

I'm sure he's acknowledged the club and Stubbs numerous times and it was a good decision to come to us when perhaps better offers where out there, Stubbs said that too so we can't exactly compare him with some French trialist with nowhere else to go that we give a punt to. Many clubs and managers where aware of Allan's potential and I'm sure I read Neilson tried to take him to them too.

Scott Alan is a bit of a dick, but he was terrific for us. I never thought i'd say this but i'd take him back, maybe he just fitted in at Hibs i dont know, but he was a pleasure to watch when on the ball driving forward.
As much as we dont want to see it, but John McGinn will be off soon, maybe in the summer, maybe the summer after, but when he goes Allan can fill that role well.
These days if you get a good player, you are lucky if you have him for 2-3 years at best, the more good players you have the better in my opinion, and Allan is good.
Short termism i suppose, but you cant plan more than a year or two ahead with players these days.

McGinn will be gone next season so we should be making preparations now for when it happens.

Don't think it's pointless bickering. Think it's been a pretty good conversation and debate to be honest.

Not one for bringing up such things but i have been surprised that during all the Scott Allen hate fests no one has mentioned the incident in 2012 whereby the car he was driving collided with a pedestrian causing horrendous injury.
Once recovered the guy took a civil action and Allan was ordered to pay him damages of £6 million pounds. £2 million up front with yearly payments until 2027. Don't know if he has to pay it or his insurance company.
