Absolutely fantastic news !!

Brilliant! Hoovering the smellies for every last penny.

Shame we couldn’t get him earlier. But understandable.

Have we ever signed a player on a pre contract before?

I'll quite happily pay £22 to watch him make the half time draw on Saturday!!

[Hibby Gav]

Yaaaaaasssssss !!!!!!!!

Very happy with that but would like to see him come now. With Celtic wanting surplus players off the payroll hopefully we are still working on it, maybe even a loan deal.

[MWHIBBIES]

Good. 3 year deal as well so we'll have him for 2 years before he forces a move to Rangers

[makaveli1875]

Good news . Could do with him now but will be worth the wait .

[Unseen work]

Honestly can’t even describe how happy I am with this.

lets get it over the line now.

Him and Gauld are a massive sign of intent and signings like that will only attract other good players as they will see the quality we have.

[cabbage_88]

Brilliant news! Now hopefully we can push through a deal for him to come this month!

[CLASS OF 72 -73]

Great news but kinda need him NOW! :thumbsup:

[jeffers]

Absolutely delighted with this news, one of my favourite players of recent years. If ever a player fits a club it's Scott Allan and Hibs. Hopefully he settles with us and gets in the Scotland squad, which his talent deserves. Also puts to bed all the chat that all he is interested in is money imo.

[Northernhibee]

Tremendous!

[Mcpakeisgod]

Thank god . Now can all the bairns stop the greeting !

[The 90+2]

Fantastic news. It's good to know he wants to come back so much. :thumbsup::agree:

Remember Celtic fans saying they'd take McGinn for hee haw in January, losing out on him, taking the huff and saying they'll refuse to sell us Scott Allan, who we then take for hee haw in January. GIRUY septic.

In the midst of all this Brexit gloom and doom nonsense, that really is quite an enjoyable piece of news ... well done to Lennon and his team at the club for making this happen, pit y we have to wait till the start of next season though ... when are we playing again anyway?

[Jim44]

Great news and can't really see a scenario where he won't come to Hibs in January. Celtic will want him off the payroll, can't see another club taking him now and would expect Scott will be ready to get started ASAP. Might be wrong but here's hoping...

Can't actually say how delighted I am with this. Allan and Gauld are two massive signings for us! Now for a Box-Box midfielder, winger, and a striker. Not being too greedy am I? :greengrin

Happy, happy days!

[Weegreenman]

Brilliant news but can we please get him here before the end of January please. Whatever it takes Miss Dempster :cb:flag:

[CMurdoch]

That is perfect.
He can hoover up his contract money from Celtic for the next few months then join us for a full pre season leaving him in perfect condition to do his stuff August onwards.
Never thought there was any point in bringing him in January when it will take him 2 months to get up to speed.
Well done to all at the club who made this happen.
Has to be quality over quantity every time.

He is certainly in the box seat with Celtic now.
They have no bargaining position so he may well join us soon.
If so I hope the supporters & management give him time to get himself up to speed.
The last thing we want is an injured Scott Allan.

He'll want Celtc or Hibs to pay up his contract.

We're way too penny pinching to do that and Celtc might just want to spite us.

[Pretty Boy]

Proper spontaneous fist pump moment when I saw this.

Hopefully we can do what Celtic usually do and offer £10, a Freddo and a signed team photo and get him in now.

[HoboHarry]

Steady chaps - he has obviously been training with Celtic but even if he comes to us this month he will need to get up to speed with match fitness......

[we are hibs]

Should be a 4 year contract. Not good enough from hibs I'm afraid..

[wookie70]

With Gauld signing it was the correct decision to do it on a pre contract. They are too similar to play in the same team. If he is as good as his last spell then he will be a very good acquisition. How many players have had three spells with us. I can only think of Stokes and I'd rather forget his third one.

[sauzee=legend]

Have we announced Allan yet? Fed up waiting and waiting 😴

Welcome home scotty boy

[2belhaven]

Would be interesting to know what his weekly wage at celtic is. With approx 18 weeks of season left even on £5K a week celtic seem willing to swallow the £90K rather than release him. Of course Scott himself may have chosen to sit tight on a lucrative contract until it ends.

[Hibbyradge]

Remember, he's a mercenary who will sign for whoever pays the most.

Loyalty means nothing to the likes of Scott Allan.

Don't see why it wouldn't suit Celtic to release him now and we come to an agreement with Scotty with regards to the differential between his wages at Celtic and what we've agreed for 3 years.

[Jack Hackett]

I was just thinking about what a huge contribution he's already made to the club. Great entertainment in his 1st spell followed by a decent wedge on his departure... plus getting us 'Henderson to deliver' the Scottish Cup. His 2nd spell ignited the blue touchpaper for the Flo/Mac fireworks and gave us our best 2nd half of the season in years... which generated record season ticket sales for this season. Today, he's made a lot of people happier than they were yesterday

Nice one! And without looking to nit-pick.. I think replacing Kamberi with ‘Ryan Gauld’ runs better. Could even make it fantasising about a midfield...

[Scotty Leither]

On holiday in Beni and just turned on my I pad, and read the news about Scott Allan.

I just hope the hotel bar is well stocked tonight!!!

[Tug Wilson]

I have no idea how much Scott Allan gets paid by Celtic or how much Hibs have agreed to pay him.

For the purposes of this example let's say:

Celtic £8k pw
Hibs £4k pw

Say his contract with Celtic has 20 weeks to run.

SA will earn £160k at Celtic doing sod all for them. In the same period he would cost Hibs £80k. This would mean that SA would lose out by £80k if he joined us now.

So Hibs go to Celtic and offer them £40k to release him now. SA says OK I'll leave if you pay me £80k. Celtic save £120k in wages, SA doesn't lose out and Hibs get the player.

However the cost to Hibs would be £80k in wages and £40k in fee. Total £120k. Worth it to get SA now.

Offer £80k if they will throw in Lewis Morgan on loan as well.

Win win?

[Tornadoes70]

Assuming, rightly or wrongly, that Celtic cut their nose off to spite their face by having SA sit out his contract, and knowing that he has a future in football soon, I hope he is given and takes the opportunity to get his head down and work hard at maintaining good fitness levels in what I think might be an indifferent if not hostile environment.

Even Celtic have to balance the books. They are under serious pressure in the league this season and are bringing on some high earners to help them push on. Pissing Scott Allan's wages against the wall is not really an option.

Why would that be in their interests? He’s not been in the squad for weeks. Honestly can’t see that happening.

Very true, but as I said earlier and thank heavens the hibs recruitment team where looking in (calm down) we can now negotiate taking over SA contract and perhaps that’s why (yes Blackpool) Lennon was going on about Lewis Morgan more.

What I don’t find friendly though is posters have genuine concern about stuff and rightly so. We sign a player and the concerned guys are delighted but others use it As a sit down get it up you type thing? We surely all want the same outcome?

[renato]

If we can get him this month, Lennon and LD will want him available against Celtc and also still giving us an option for Morgan, so a partial pay off and us picking up the balance till the summer is the best solution.

Celtc probably won’t mind (financially) either way, they won’t see him as a threat in the games against them either. Especially since we seem to pump them at ER anyway :greengrin

Remember, he's a mercenary who will sign for whoever pays the most.

Loyalty means nothing to the likes of Scott Allan.

I can't believe the board signed him without even letting Neil speak to him, he said himself he hadn't spoken to Scott Allan.

He'll be raging.....

[Hibees1973]

I hope people aren’t expecting the same as last time. We have a very different midfield now. Be interesting to see how things develop.

If we are patient there is reason for optimism. If we manage to get Allan on loan during this window, then great, if not I’m delighted that he is on a long term contract.

I mentioned earlier that Hibs should be looking long term and I expect our midfield to be vastly different to what we have just now come summer.

Hope folk on here show a bit of patience. We did lose, which I believe the best midfield in Scotland last year and also the best midfield I have seen Hibs have since the Tornadoes.

There is no doubt Allan needs help. I expect more higher quality signings, maybe not now as this window is difficult to get exactly what we want given the short timescale, but come summer some established players, hopefully aged between 22 - 27. Hibs need to continue to sign players that could demand a high sell on fee if they are are success. Signing guys like Milligan, who I don’t doubt could be a good player, seemed a strange choice for Hibs given his age and the hassle of him playing for Australia.

Also I’m pleased we have signed Gauld, albeit a loan, and Allan who pure footballers. They are Hibs players. I know we do need, Bartley, on occasion, but I always get a sense of pride seeing a Hibs side set up to play football that is attractive to watch. I found it uncomfortable seeing us play a bit attritional against Hearts at the last derby, especially when it was at home. This was due to wrong signings in the summer and therefore, few creative options for Lennon.

I’ll have snide pop at those on the other side of the road. Hearts squad is a land of the giants + Naismith with an obvious style to match. Fire the ball up to the big man, whoever it is, hold it up and the midfield run up to support. How is this style going to progress Scottish football.

It is debatable which style will be more successful, but I know what I’d rather watch.

Anyway, good work so far Hibs in this window and I’m more optimistic than I was last week.

Yeah, vitally important people aren’t expecting SA to find the form he found in his previous stints at Hibs.

That would be awful wouldn’t it?

In all seriousness, I thought he was much better last season than in his first season. He’s gonna be great.

[Hi Heid Yin]

Brilliant news!!

:flag::flag:

[BullsCloseHibs]

Really excellent news. Well done Hibernians.

[Leith Green]

Welcome back Scott Allan 💚

[SirDavidsNapper]

Absolutely delighted l had my doubts, but happy to be proved wrong anytime with this type of signing its an amazing bit of business a 3 year deal, gives us a massive building block to develop the team with, now if we can get a 23-24 year old holding.midfielder we are on our way. 😁
Well.done Hibs Board and our Chief Executive

Exactly how i feel about it

[Eyrie]

Never saw this coming.

But I'll take him anyway.

[hibby6270]

I’m a bit late to this party. I’ve just got home.
So....Yaaassss!! Great news.

[SCHAEDYSHORTS]

Absolute class, well done Hibs, can’t wait to see Scotty back where he truly belongs :flag:

[Keith_M]

Woo-hoo!

Just let him go now, Celtc, you know you want to.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

This has to be the most positive signing announcement thread ever!!

[worcesterhibby]

Just got in...woooooooohoooooooo!

If we could get Scotty in now I would love to see cumdog brought in as think him and Flo would bang the goals in with players like gauld and Allan in behind

If we could get SA plus the other Celtic Scotty ( ie Brown ) in now we would shoot up this poor league!

[Borderhibbie76]

Very true, but as I said earlier and thank heavens the hibs recruitment team where looking in (calm down) we can now negotiate taking over SA contract and perhaps that’s why (yes Blackpool) Lennon was going on about Lewis Morgan more.

What I don’t find friendly though is posters have genuine concern about stuff and rightly so. We sign a player and the concerned guys are delighted but others use it As a sit down get it up you type thing? We surely all want the same outcome?Spot on well said

Agree with that. Myself and Hibbyradge are toasting his signing right now in many many Alicante bars :greengrin

Three year deal is better than I hoped, tremendous :thumbsup:

[CraigHibee]

Great work, especially on a 3 year deal 🤝

[Godsahibby]

The announcement of Allan today with the pictures from last season, forgot how much I loved that strip!!

[Diclonius]

What's the deal with the #23 shirt thing? I get that he wore it last season, but he wore #20 and #10 for us (and Dundee) and #19 with Celtic. What's the significance?

He wasn't even on our books for that game.

Quite a famous shirt number in sporting terms. Michael Jordan, Lebron James, David Beckham started to wear it.. other than that I can’t think of any other reason though.

[Diclonius]

That was the only thing to come to mind, but given he's a boyhood Hun I doubt it.

I get that #23 is a popular number but I was always under the impression he preferred #10.

[basehibby]

:top marks:hibees:nlgwa:flag::party::scarf:

Ya absolute dancer - that is a humdinger of a signing - welcome home Scotty!

[dp00]

Surely by announcing the pre contract hibs are just putting the pressure on Celtic to release him ?

He might see out his contract on his own accord though??im sure if celtic could they wud cut ties.im just glad hes coming hame,I remember feeling slightly seek wen rangers fans were singing "one of our own" in that guff wee cup.NOW Scotty allan is one of our own.

[Babyshamble]

Would love him back now.pretty sure he'll be taking a huge wage cut.probobly be sitting & waiting.getting his 8k a week a Celtic..unless we can come to some arrangement.

I reckon Allan will be keen as mustard to get back playing with the Hibees after kicking his heals at Celtic all this time and I'm hopeful something will get sorted out sooner rather than later to bring that to fruition. Hibs might have to shell out a bit of compo but I can't see it being too much - Celtic shouldn't be hard to deal with in the circumstances.

Fingers crossed :hyper

Celtic could their losses and pay 50% of wage to release and we pay the other half. Only their bitterness over SJM will stop them.

Would not see Sellick crumbling under this ‘pressure.’

If anything, it would appease their support if they DID play hardball.

They won't if he moves to us this window likely to be last week. It will be who blinks first. As some say might suit Scott to be there until summer but hopefully something is sorted as we could definitely do with him now.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Celtic - "You'd be as well selling us McGinn for pennies now as if you don't we'll just sign him on a pre contract for nothing in January. Just delaying the inevitable. The new Scott Brown Hail Hail"

Hibs - Sorry we've accepted the asking price from from Aston Villa"

Celtic - "God sake fine then we'll match Villas bid"

Super John - "Thanks but no thanks Celtic i'm away to Villa".

Hibs - "Sorry lads but we'll be back in contact in January to sign Allan on a pre contract for nothing".

I f*****g love Hibs :not worth:not worth:not worth

[Phil MaGlass]

Great signing, him and Gauld, if sellik want a better chance of winning the league they should release SA now.

[Peevemor]

Great signing, him and Gauld, if sellik want a better chance of winning the league they should release SA now.

Or loan him to us, meaning he can't play against them.

Rodgers might see a footballing reason why SA at Hibs in January might be benefitial to Celtic. I suspect, however, that Lawwell’s perceived petty and vindictive attitude might prevail. I’ve read that there’s not much love lost between them so it’ll be interesting to see how things pan out. Bottom line is that we have got ourselves a nice wee comfort blanket to see us through the second half of the season.

[J-C]

Why? that would also mean Allan misses out on a pay off from Celtic, offer them £50k and give Allan £50k signing fee to cover loss of Celtic earnings.

I take it as a subtle giruy to the Huns

The start of the cup winning season was when the rangers and media were on the 100% attack to get Allan to leave hibs

We were the big meanies for not simply letting him go to his boyhood team, or more accurately our biggest rival

The rest, of course, is history

[Jim44]

For a support who would have you believe that SA is a meaningless nonentity, thay are spurting vitriol and hatred towards him as we speak. You would think that, with the temporary upturn in their fortunes with Gerrard, they would ignore the SA situation. They must really be hurting to keep bleating on about it.

Agree why do they care they should be concentrating on their inevitable league championship and even more inevitable future financial catastrophe. :greengrin

They wanted him, they were desperate for him. Some Huns even changed their little avatars to Scott Allan on Twitter. It hurt them when he signed for Celtic and it still hurts them.

[mjhibby]

So can we finally put the story to bed that Hibs scuppered getting him in the summer. We were obviously trying to get him but it didnt work out probably due to celtic being miffed about mcginn. Welcome back Scott. Such a brilliant passer of the ball.

[Beefster]

Man-crush rekindled.

[A Hi-Bee]

Well done Hibs now lets rebuild the team around him starting this summer.

[Famous Fiver]

Is he doing the half time draw tomorrow?

He could do a John Terry and get the full kit on.

Would be worth the admission money for that alone.

[BILLYHIBS]

Daily Ranger reporting today Lenny wants Scott Allan in this window and would like to team him up with Gauld and Omeonga who he describes as being “good energy,pace,dynamic,young and played at a good level”

Lenny gave the players ample warning that unless they stepped up to the plate he would change things. Looks like he is doing just that. Good on him. Looks like the Highway for some.

As said by someone else, no point likening or comparing new midfielders to SJM/McGeouch, as its just setting them up to fail. We wont have a player of SJM’s likes for a long time IMO.

I've no reason to doubt your information, but there must be around half a dozen versions of what happened in the summer.

One story was that Scott was furious with Hibs for pulling the deal at the last minute and the chances of him ever coming back to Hibs had diminished.

I think that's what Lemonade is referring to.

He was furious until he found out why, he was told Hibs had pulled it after everyone was happy, he didn't know Celtic changed things last minute.
