Scott Allan

[Stuart93]

JR confirmed he’ll be out for the “near future” with an unknown health issue

Doesn’t sound too promising. Maybe explains us being in the market for another attacking midfielder

[Hibee Mac]

Hope he's alright, on his day he's one of my favourite Hibs players ever to watch.

I don't think we need to sign an attacking midfielder though... Mallan, Murphy, Wright can all play #10 and we actually haven't been playing with a formation which suits a #10 anyway.

Far more important areas of the pitch to be addressing ahead of an attacking midfielder, we've had an abundance of them for the last 3/4 years

[Diclonius]

Oh dear, that doesn't sound too good.

Is this something to do with his diabetes? Or something else entirely?

[RossScott1991]

Diabetes well known, and if it was Covid it would be public knowledge. Hopefully he is alright whatever it may be and all is well🤞

[JohnMcM]

If it's a health issue then we can only wish him well. Hope this thread doesn't deteriorate into anything other than that.

[Callum_62]

Obviously curious to know what it is but can only wish him a speedy recovery

Wish him a speedy recovery. A terrific player when in form and getting the service he needs to roam free and attack. Get well soon Scotty.

[jeffers]

A player that reminds me why I love football when he’s at his best. It’s been pretty obvious he’s not been himself since the start of the season. Speedy recovery Scott.

[04Sauzee]

Hope he gets well soon and back playing in the green & white.

[Smartie]

I don't think it's being unkind to say that he hasn't looked as sharp as he can this season. I agree with those who say that on his game he's up there with some of our best ever players so it's not been nice to see him struggle a bit. Getting him to 100% and then building a team around him would be what I'd be expecting any Hibs manager to want to do, and persisting with someone who isn't right isn't going to do much to that end.

It's a position we have cover for and it's an opportunity for someone. We do still need a mobile, energetic midfielder to help link our play up, but this might just be the opportunity Stevie Mallan has been waiting for, in a midfield in addition to the defensive Gogic and that new player.

A fit Scott Allan playing on top of his game gets in any Hibs team though, and we need to wish him all the best in getting back there, whatever it takes for him and the club.

[Magpie]

Hope he recovers well. Fantastic player who is a privilege to watch at his best. Time for Stevie Mallan to put the doubters away.

[JohnM1875]

Gutted for him. My favourite player and was looking forward to seeing him on form again.

Obviously hope everything is okay and he's back fighting fit as soon as he can be.

[jeffers]

Out of interest where did Jack Ross say this, at his pre match press conference ? It’s not up on YouTube yet.

Quoted by James Delaney on Twitter. Reporter for Edinburgh Live. He must’ve been present at the press conference

[Since452]

That's crap for Scott. He hasn't seemed right on the park this season and isn't a starter now for me. Hope whatever it is is sorted and he's back to his best as we all know how good he can be.

Cheers Stuart.

[Lago]

Wish him a speedy recovery

[Robbo6-2]

Thats very worrying.

You could see there is something not right.

Get well soon scotty

[Scouse Hibee]

Might explain his poor form, hopefully he makes a full recovery.

[calumhibee1]

Hopefully makes a full recovery ASAP. The best player in the league outside the OF when he’s at it

[B.H.F.C]

Hope he gets himself sorted and is back on the pitch, being the player he can be, as soon as he can.

[MWHIBBIES]

Hes out for the near future, could be 2 weeks? Wouldn't be signing anyone to cover that.

From the beginning, Scotty is a player I have always enjoyed watching, on his game, he is always going to give you something. It now makes clear to me why he hasn't been "On his game" for a wee while now. I really hope he gets well soonest, and we see him back in the not too distant future.. All the best Scotty...

[JimBHibees]

Hopefully something which can be managed. Get well soon Scotty. :aok:

[stoneyburn hibs]

Hopefully not a serious issue for him.
A joy to watch when he's on his game.

[Smartie]

It might change any thinking there might have been on punting a deputy though.

[CentreLine]

Big call now for Mallan to fill the void, he is certainly capable of it but I also think this is ready made for Newell.

[CmoantheHibs]

Wish you a full and swift recovery Scott and back in the green and white orchestrating things ASAP.

[CMurdoch]

With Mallan back to full fitness after a long time out Scott can pass the weight to him and take time to get himself right.

In a strange way it will be good if Hibs medical guys have found an issue that has been affecting Scott physically/medically and hopefully now they know what it is they can put it right.

[green day]

One of my favourite goals ever was his one in front of the FF against Hearts.

Get well soon SA.

[Pretty Boy]

Wish him well whatever the issue is.

A fantastically gifted player and hopefully he comes back at his very best.

[keep the faith]

Rest up Scott and we all look forward to seeing you lift some silverware in the green and white on your return.

Top top player.

[Ronniekirk]

Also might explain why his form
Has been so
Poor

I'm not as big a fan as many on here in terms of his footballing prowess but he is a really decent guy and he has done very well giving diabetes sufferers a role model to look up to. Hope they get to the bottom of it quickly and he is back to full fitness as soon as possible.

[Not So Young]

Get well soon

[berwickhibee]

Come back stronger Scott allan💚⚽

[Sheffhibee]

Will be missed over the next few weeks but health is much more important than football
Get well soon Scotty :flag:

[Sir David Gray]

Hope he's ok and they get to the bottom of whatever the issue is.

[Bishop Hibee]

100% fit and on form he’s great to watch. Hope it’s not too serious and he’s back running the midfield soon.

[hibee-boys]

Pretty clear to all that Scott has been well short of fitness, hopefully he's back to full health soon.

[Greenbeard]

Quoted by James Delaney on Twitter. Reporter for Edinburgh Live. He must’ve been present at the press conference
So is it "unknown" to Delaney, or to JR, or to Scott himself, or worse than that, to mankind?

[Vault Boy]

Here's hoping it's not anything too serious and he makes a full and swift recovery. All the best, Scott.

[FilipinoHibs]

Great footballer and lovely guy. Physically there has been something wrong this season and why his form has dipped. Now we know something is behind that. Get well soon.

[Cabbage7062]

Players like Scott Allan are the reason I love going to Easter Road. Get well soon and hope to see you back playing soon!

[Hibiza]

Get well Scotty. We'll miss your class.

[Since452]

If he happens to look on here, we're all behind you Scott.

[The Captain....]

Wishing him a speedy recovery. He'll be missed.

Hope you're back to full fitness very soon Scott.
One of the best talents in the Scottish game.

[neil7908]

Not good. Hope he's OK and back in the team ASAP.

[EdinMike]

Wouldn’t be surprised if his illness is keeping him from keeping fit. Won’t lie I’ve seen he has been a passenger lately. Keep safe Scotty.

[The 90+2]

Let’s hope Scott is okay. If there’s an underlying issue is good it’s been spotted now.

[Joe6-2]

Not good news for Hibs but especially for Scott, love the guy, all the very best to him

[jacomo]

:agree:

[O'Rourke3]

Well news like that is pure dug sh***. I hope his issues can be quickly resolved and he gets back to doing what we all know he's capable of.

Get well soon son will miss you still my hero come back stronger prove the doubters wrong.

[Borderhibbie76]

Hopefully whatever it is can be resolved and we get the real Scotty back as hes been a shadow of himself this season so far. Get well soon Scotty

[PeeJay]

If he is out as reported, it is bad news for the club - he is one of our finest players - even on an off day ... have to wish him a speedy recovery

[Seveno]

Get well soon, Scott. For the sake of Scottish football, for Hibs but most of all, for yourself.

[rcarter1]

Get well Scotty!!!!

Form is temporary
Class is permanent, and Scotty is class in a glass.

Well said Peter, bet he reminds you of Mickey Edwards no ? Pure class

[Billy Whizz]

Think Jack Ross said in his pre match interview, that Scott and Jamie Murphy would he his eyes in the stand during the game

[Beefster]

Maybe a lesson that when a Hibs player isn't performing there may be real reasons behind it and some faith / patience might be required. He's been one of our best players over the last 6 or 7 years and yet some folk can't wait to stick it into Allan (or lots of other players tbh) whenever he has a few pish games.

Agree 100%.

At times we supporters forget we are discussing human beings!

I'm 70 next week, a supporter for 65 of those years despite being born near Inverness, and Scott is among the finest, most talented players, I have had the pleasure to see wear a Hibs strip. Have never had the pleasure of meeting him but by all accounts he's a lovely guy.

Take all the time you need to get better Scott - we all look forward to your return on the pitch so we can once again marvel at the entertainment you provide. I'm absolutely certain our great club will look after you and support you for whatever you need to overcome this problem.

Take care and look after yourself - football is secondary to good health.

You can be critical of players performance without questioning their outside football qualities. I have questioned Scottie's work rate in all his spells. I think he seems like a great lad but that doesn't stop me having an opinion of his on the field performance or wishing him a full recovery and a return to form.

[JimBHibees]

Yes he did sounds like a good idea.
