Scotty Allan

[The 90+2]

💚💚💚

[Tambo]

Only highlight of the night.

[yerauldda]

I love him. Absolutely shocking from Jack Ross to bring him on under these circumstances in a midfield that have barely played any football in the last year.

[Vault Boy]

One of the only positives in a real shower of *****. Welcome back Scott, we've missed you.

Best player we have by a mile. Oozes class , let’s just hope we can keep him fit for the rest of the season.

[Jones28]

Only positive from tonight is seeing him back but why is Ross getting such abuse for it? If he didn’t bring him on the same people would be giving abuse for not bringing him on 😂

[Nicho87]

Shameful from Ross to put him on imo.

Welcome back Scott.

Disgrace of a manager

You can say that again.

1-0, yes. 2-0, yes. But at 3-0 and next to Irvine and Magennis who’ve barely kicked a ball for a year is shameful.

[Peevemor]

Had Ross not put him on, people would have been moaning too. "Why have him on the bench?" etc.

[Alfred E Newman]

Putting Scott on the bench tonight was a shocking decision.

Putting Scott on the bench tonight was a shocking decision.

Why?

[hibbysam]

1-0, yes. 2-0, yes. But at 3-0 and next to Irvine and Magennis who’ve barely kicked a ball for a year is shameful.

The game was basically gone. He’s going to play a part for us so it gives him minutes in his legs. No issues at all with him coming on, he was on the bench for a reason.

[Centre Hawf]

Have to say with the benefit of hindsight having Scott on the bench was a poor decision from Jack Ross. Especially coupled with the fact Magennis was also coming in over Mallan who was fit, and I'm not even a Mallan fan.

I'm absolutely delighted that Scotty is on the way back. But today was not the day for sentimentality.

[MWHIBBIES]

Oh **** off. Should he only get minutes when we're 4-0 up? Nothing wrong with putting him in tonight. He gets paid enough to come on regardless of score or occasion. Ross has many faults, giving Allan some minutes tonight isn't one of them. I think Scott will be delighted to have gotten back.

Exactly. He didn't start, he was on the bench. If he wasn't fit enough he wouldn't have been. Everyone was buzzing about him being in the squad. We lose and it's a "poor decision" lol. Good one.

Sentimentality? He was our only good player in the time he was on the park.

[Callum_62]

Let's face it, Jack Ross cannot do anything right

Put on Scott Allan - it's a disgrace!

Leave Scott Allan on the bench - he's our most creative player and he didn't even bring him on... He's too Conservative

Allan was a roll of the dice and he looks miles away from making a major impact but it won't have done Scott Allan any harm

Can't disagree with that but he was also not up against a high standard. My point was more that we had two players that were far from match sharp/fit on the bench for a semi-final while a fit (i assume) Mallan was left out in one of their place.

Turning the last 20 minutes of a semi-final we're losing into a training match to get fitness into the legs of these guys is a disgraceful position to be in.

You're right. Punt him pronto 😃

Why though?

[KeithTheHibby]

If the manager thought he was fit to be on the bench why should he not get minutes regardless of the score? A pathetic reason to have a go at the manager.

[Potty78]

Great to have Scott back, giving him minutes last night to me was fine, sooner he is match fit the better. Thought he looked ok considering. I thought we really missed Newell last night. Someone who can take the ball and keep us moving forward. Sick of watching Hanlon and Porteous just launch it. We desperately need a couple of hard ball winning central defenders and another striker. Need to let a couple of midfielders go permanently or at least on loan. I actually thought young Doig done ok too, decent crosses into the box especially. Needs to work on his fitness though, looked shattered after 60 mins and got no help defensively from Murphy! I want Ross to succeed but he needs to balance the squad out asap��

[neil7908]

If anyone is going to save the managers job, it's Scottie. We desperately, desperately need some cutting edge up front and he's throwing man to deliver it.

A midfield including the likes of Irvine, Allan, Newell, Gogic, Magennis and Hallberg looks very good on paper.

The question now is how to stop our defence leaking goals and get that on paper excellent midfield to start getting goals and assists.

[Ronniekirk]

The game was gone Ross knew thst and was giving him a run out to see what he could do
He will get a similar cameo role v The Rangers Part of a plan to build up match fitness and could be the player along with Jackson Irvine that sorts things out going forward for us to get more out forwards

Yep - reeked of desperation.

[Unseen work]

Great to see Scotty back.

Also brilliant to see some of his close control and footwork to get away from the opposition.

First game back which is huge but it was good to see the ability he has in small glimpses.

Get him back properly with Irvine and Newell and there’s no excuses. Ross has the players and puts out a good team, it’s just down to them now.

[Since452]

Yep - reeked of desperation.

In what way did it reek of desperation? The game was done. He brought a player off the bench to give him some minutes. It was brilliant to see him back. No issues with Ross doing that whatsoever. I'd do the same.

His inclusion in the semi final squad baffled me to be honest. I get what you're saying and I don't necessarily disagree if it was a league game, but I wouldn't have had him in the squad at all yesterday. Mallan has influenced almost every LC game we've played this season whether starting or coming off the bench. He'd have been my pick. I'm no Mallan cheerleader and Scott Allan is by far the best player of the two but he's not played a game since August. Just weird from my perspective.

[HFCdeb]

I'd like to add that I am really glad to see Scott Allan back and I really hope he gets back to his best. He has been a big miss.

[Smartie]

Scott Allan is one of the best in the country at breaking open a defence.

If you don’t put him on last night, when do you put him on? Ross should have known about his fitness, if he wasn’t fit to play a part he shouldn’t have been on the bench. I had more of an issue with the fact that I had no idea what was meant to be going on around Allan.

I thought he showed a few really nice touches and I can’t wait to get him back in the team.

[WeeRussell]

Yep. When this is a “disgrace” it’s clear that Jack Ross’ time is well and truly up in some fans’ views and there’s no changing that.

The “desperation” is having a go at JR for this...

[Since452]

Jack Ross can't can do anything right in some people's eyes. I wonder if there would have been posts having a go at him for not bringing him on if he hadn't.

You can be sure that there would have been. We all have an opinion on the manager but there's nothing more tiresome than when you get people whose entire presence on this forum becomes a crusade to prove that everything he does is wrong which patently isn't the case.

I for one would have made the "if you don't bring him on when you're down 2-0 in a cup semi and needing to break down a defence but still have a bit of time left, when do you bring him on" point.

[SanFranHibs]

Not the best scenario, but I would not be surprised if Scott Allan was just thankful to run on to the field in a competitive game. Maybe something he had feared might not happen again. 3 nil up or 3 nil down he may have just been feeling a great relief knowing he was getting back to doing what he loves most.

Welcome back Mr. Allan.
