Scott Allan

[Diclonius]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62543432

Written an article for the BBC. Still actively looking for a club but worried people aren't taking a chance because of his heart condition.

[JohnM1875]

Think it'll almost definitely be why clubs aren't taking a chance on him and why he didn't get a run of games for us last season.

[The_Exile]

Just mentioned him on the transfers thread, could do with a player like him who can create something out of nothing. From reading that article it sounds like he’s on top of the health issues that kept him out for a while. Whatever club takes a chance on him will be getting a very good football player. Best of luck to him, one of my absolute favourite ever Hibs players.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

I know he has nothing to do with us now but it would be a good gesture if he was allowed to use the training facilities.

Considering That eriksson has make a massive comeback after this heartattack there should be no reason why clubs are tentative. He has the ability to change the game.

[DH1875]

Massive drop down but can see him ending up at OG Broomhill.

[Hibernian Verse]

I'm not a doctor but I would imagine no two cases are the same.

[.Sean.]

I’d take a half fit Allan over Joe Newell every weekend

[Allant1981]

I’d take a half fit Allan over Joe Newell every weekend

Then we would be in an even worse state in midfield than we are now

Agree with this. Would be good if the club helped him out and kept him fit.

Me, I would have him back in the club in a heartbeat but that's not going to happen.

[SlickShoes]

He has a serious health issue, we helped him through that, multiple managers didn't play him, he currently can't find anyone willing to "risk" taking him on, yet the experts here think he would be better than what we have....

I loved watching him play for us but multiple times last season it was clear he was not capable at this level any more. I hope he can find a club at a lower level or stay in football some other way, good luck to him!

[e2los]

I don't know, sadly most likely.

Was a good article (OP link).

Just been watching the 2019/2020 goals and assists video.

Scott seemed at times to have a sixth sense and his awareness especially re Boyler was amazing.

Wish him all the best.

[at last 61]

Personally I would give him a 6 month deal and play him as long as he can in the development team and then use him as a sub in some games, but really depends on what fatigue he has

[flash]

I would take Long John Silver over Newall.

(Obviously I wouldn't but he started it.)

Scott Allan in his prime was outstanding to watch and gave me so many super memories but them aside there is no place for sentiment for me so it’s a no to him returning!

I wonder what the insurance quote would be for a club to sign Scott, substantial probably.

Did he not have an incredibly good output last season in terms of goal involvements for minutes on the pitch?

[SlickShoes]

Did he not have an incredibly good output last season in terms of goal involvements for minutes on the pitch?

He played in 17 games, 506 minutes, 3 assists. I have no idea if that is good or not, but his last assist was November 2021, and since that game he only managed more than 45 minutes once.

Jack Ross gave him a fair amount of game time, Shaun Maloney and David Gray twice did not seem to think it was worth playing him.

[allezsauzee]

I think the championship would be perfect for him. The intensity of the games is the biggest difference between the premiership and championship . Unfortunately I think he's the sort of player that needs a run of games to hit top form so a season broken up by being injured/ on the bench is never going to get the best out of him. I think you need to stick him in the team, knowing that he'll take a few weeks to get going but once he is at top form , he'll be the best player in the division by a distance.

[Stubbsy90+2]

He played in 17 games, 506 minutes, 3 assists. I have no idea if that is good or not, but his last assist was November 2021, and since that game he only managed more than 45 minutes once.

Jack Ross gave him a fair amount of game time, Shaun Maloney and David Gray twice did not seem to think it was worth playing him.

Joe Newell had 3 assists and 1 goal in all competitions last season over 3102 minutes on the pitch. A goal involvement every 775 mins.

Allan had 5 assists and 1 goal in all competitions over 688 minutes on the pitch. A goal involvement every 114 mins.

Henderson had 1 assist and 1 goal in all competitions over 1097 minutes on the pitch. A goal involvement every 549 mins.

JDH had 2 goals in all competitions over 3539 minutes on the pitch. A goal involvement every 1769 minutes.

They all played in the exact same team under the exact same managers. Obviously they’re different types of players (although Henderson is pretty similar style wise), but Allan’s output attacking wise, whilst limited in terms of sample size, was probably one of the highest in the country, never mind just at Hibs. Yet we’re sitting here with players who offer next to nothing going forward flooding our midfield and wondering why we’re struggling.

Allan had a tremendous output last season for the amount of minutes he got and we were absolutely crying out for someone like him. We still are.

[LaMotta]

He got 5 assists and 1 goal. This made him our most productive attacking player in the squad after Boyle left and Nisbet got injured.

His time was clearly going to be up at the end of the season, but Maloney's refusal to give him adequate game time in the second half of last season when we had zero creative threat from the rest of our midfielders was what contributed to him getting sacked.

It's not all about goal involvements though, if that was the case he would play, but there's so much more he has to be capable of playing in midfield especially. You'd need to ask the managers why they didn't risk playing him, if like you say his stats being so much better make it a no brainer.

It’s not all about goal involvements. But it’s also not all about defensive involvement, yet we’ve stuck by JDH and Newell who offer some form of defensive ability and no attacking ability.

There needs to be a balance. Someone like Allan should have been and should still be that balance if we’re going to persist with playing all these midfielders who offer nothing going forward.

Instead we’ve binned him, signed Henderson who’s offered nothing much at all throughout his career so far and signed another defensive midfielder who will do nothing to rectify our issues going forward.

Allan should have got a hell of a lot more game time last season and he should really still be here imo.

When the team goes goalless in 7 out of 9 games then goal involvements start to become a bit more important though.

Maloney being an absolutely shocking manager is one possible explanation.

The other was the rumour that Allan was due a large bonus if he played a certain amount of games. If that was true then ultimately given our slide down the league it probably cost more money than it saved.

So basically we don't know. The fact he can't find a club is maybe telling us something too.

I don't really see the point in arguing about if he should have played last season or not, the managers we had chose not to play him. I don't disagree that we would have been as well playing him at some point just to see what happened and give him a chance since we were terrible anyway. But we don't see him in training, or know about how it's best to manage his medical issue.

[Frazerbob]

3 Hibs managers didn’t select Scotty last season. A fourth released him in the summer. No club has signed him, not even the likes of Dundee or ICT (who had him recently). I think that tells you all you need to know.

Of course we dont know 100%. But you asked the question so I answered it. :greengrin The only possible 3rd explanation is that he couldnt still cut it in the Premiership. His highlights reel for the first half of the season disproves that theory.

An often repeated myth that 3 managers didnt pick him. Jack Ross used him frequently.

As for teams not being willing to give him a contract - i think the main thing it tells us is that clubs are understandably wary of commiting to signing a player for a long period of time that has a heart condition.

Someone else mentioned the cost of player insurance being something that will put teams off as well, its a complicated situation and if he is still fit and able to play you'd hope the governing body or players union if that's a thing could help him out in some way.

[Stubbsy90+2]

3 Hibs managers didn’t select Scotty last season. A fourth released him in the summer. No club has signed him, not even the likes of Dundee or ICT (who had him recently). I think that tells you all you need to know.

And all 3 of our managers last season failed, in no small part due to not having any attacking intent or creativity in their midfield. Our manager this season has got off to a poor start, again, in no small part due to a lack of attacking intent or creativity from his midfield.

That tells you a lot more imo.

It doesn't tell you that Scott Allan is the answer.

[Tyler Durden]

I’m surprised he hasn’t found a team but then neither has Dylan McGeouch. So it seems a bit premature to blame it on his health problems.

[Stubbsy90+2]

It doesn't tell you that Scott Allan is the answer.

Of course it doesn’t. It would be impossible to say whether he would be the answer or whether he wouldn’t be.

Good point re insurance agree with all that mate.

[sadtom]

Loved watching SA playing. A talented laddie who was able to produce wee moments of magic that were beyond most in this league.
I kept hoping that he would be able to get back to even close to full fitness. The performances against Dundee Utd and St Johnstone away (when he undoubtedly made the difference) gave me real hope that he was on the way back.
Like many on here I was a bit mystified as to why he wasn’t getting a gradual increase in game time when he could still be a match winner.
However, there were 3 occasions (under JR I think) in a short period of time, all at home when he came on for the last 20 mins or so. Against celtc, hawrts (iirc) and I can’t recall who the other was. In all 3 games he was only on a few minutes, against players who had been on the park the whole game. And in all 3 games he did exactly the same thing.
He has never been particularly known as a grafter or a ball winner but on all 3 occasions his opponent had a half yard start on Scotty, but instead of chasing his opponent down (which he would have done under normal circumstances) he instead had a wee fly kick/trip at the player instead.
Considering that he was ‘fresher’ than the other player, I don’t believe it was lack of desire or a poor attitude, he just seemed unable, or at least did not trust himself to be able, to hunt the ball down.
At that point I realised that this is what the coaches can see on a daily basis and that sadly his health/lack of fitness meant that his ability to play at a meaningful level had gone.
We are never likely to be such a dominant team that we can afford to play a luxury player who makes a couple of good passes each game but is totally unable to do basic running.

After witnessing that I reluctantly understood that his time with Hibs was over.
No matter how hard you wish for something to be different it doesn’t mean it will be.
Unless there is a major medical breakthrough I don’t believe he will be able to to make a meaningful contribution to any professional club. Especially when you also factor in other aspects that some have touched on, insurance costs and the general fear that he could has a serious ‘incident’ while playing.

As hard as it may be to come to terms with, I think Scott should start looking at what he wants to do with the next chapter in his life. Whatever it may be I wish him all the luck in the world and thank him for the skill, excitement, and entertainment that he provided.

:top marksgood post for his time on the pitch of course he will assist more but like he said himself he needs 5/6 games run to get the best out of him and he was never given that last season for whatever managers reasoning i for one think hes had a rough deal after all his hard work who could hands on heart say if he would have played the minutes that some of the others got last year Hibs would have been worse off? wish he was back and given a chance quality player all the best scotty thanks for the memorys :agree:

[CapitalGreen]

The same arguments being put forward by the same folk who were saying signing Leigh Griffiths would be no brainier last season. I remember a poster who has since been launched by the name of calumhibee1 who spent all last summer posting LG’s 20/21 goal contribution stats and arguing with anyone who suggested he wouldn’t be a good signing.

[Pagan Hibernia]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62543432

Written an article for the BBC. Still actively looking for a club but worried people aren't taking a chance because of his heart condition.

it’s a bit heartbreaking, that piece

[Sioux]

Of course it doesn’t. It would be impossible to say whether he would be the answer or whether he wouldn’t be.

So why is that "he should really still be here" ??

[Stubbsy90+2]

So why is that "he should really still be here" ??

Because when he was on the pitch last season he showed he still had plenty to give. He should have had a lot more game time last season and judging by what he produced when he did get a chance, if he did get more game time he’d have probably finished the season with more assists/goals than pretty much any other player in our squad.

We’re not talking about a guy who offered something 3 or 4 years ago. He offered something last season at a very impressive frequency when he was on the pitch.

For some reason though, people seem to think attacking players who aren’t very good at defending can’t play in a midfield and are like being a man down yet they happily sit there and watch defensive players who aren’t very good at attacking every week and never bat an eyelid.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Football Scotland are now running this. Are they run by hearts/rangers fa.s as that seems to be the majority of the content and only positive spin stories

[Pretty Boy]

Sad that 2 of the 3 of one of the best midfields in Scotland in the last decade are currently without clubs

Obviously there are reasons for it but McGeouch, Allan and McGinn were a joy to watch individually and as a trio. That run of form in the 2nd half of the 17/18 and the performances that went with it are up there as the best I have ever seen from Hibs. If Lennon had held his nerve at Tynecastle it would have got the league position it deserved.

I can't believe no one is willing to take a chance on Allan. I know he is a bit of a luxury even at his best but he makes things happen.

[Jones28]

Loved scotty at Hibs, and while I wasn’t open to offering him a new contract I think that could have been a mistake. He’s a proper game changer when things go his way. His shimmy and run for one of the goals at mcdiarmid park last season was sublime.

[Frazerbob]

An often repeated myth that 3 managers didnt pick him. Jack Ross used him frequently.

As for teams not being willing to give him a contract - i think the main thing it tells us is that clubs are understandably wary of commiting to signing a player for a long period of time that has a heart condition.

Scotty tells us that he has no medical issues the will affect his performances tho. Surely anyone interested would have his ‘condition’ checked out.

You didn’t answer my point about neither ICT or Dundee being interested. Scotty spent time at both clubs recently and would surely be the type of of club we’d expect to snap him up.

Well how can any of us answer such a specfic point about those 2 clubs?

What is the current make up of their squad? What type of players are they short of? Do they have the budget to sign him? Is he the type of character that will get on with their manager?

So him potentially signing for those 2 clubs is pure speculation. Even if the managers did want to though, are their chairmen willing to take a risk on him given his condition?

[Brightside]

Plenty clubs will sign him but he will need to lower his wage request. Queens Park will sign him if he does.

[JimBHibees]

Plenty clubs will sign him but he will need to lower his wage request. Queens Park will sign him if he does.

Yep pretty sure he will get sorted. Wouldn't surprise if some team like Thistle picked him up though having Ian McCall as a manager may be a challenge for some. :greengrin

[tonyrougier123]

The likes of killie, Ross county and Motherwell could do well to take on a player like scotty, as he says needs games.

His passing alone opens doors for teams,the match fitness would come with a good run in a team with patience for helping him achieve that.

[Tambo]

Probably been posted in the transfer thread but good luck if he moves to Arbroath.

[Unseen work]

Can’t really imagine Allan in a Dick Campbell team.

Saying that he might flourish having so many players around him doing the dirty work.

[Pretty Boy]

Can’t really imagine Allan in a Dick Campbell team.

Saying that he might flourish having so many players around him doing the dirty work.

I'm not sure. Dick has always liked a creative type in his team. Not one at the level of Allan right enough.

He'll have 10 other guys to run through walls for him. Being told to go out and just play might be what Scotty needs.

[Sir David Gray]

Probably been posted in the transfer thread but good luck if he moves to Arbroath.

He better be fit to play for Arbroath, they are all Campbell’s warriors

[Centre Hawf]

Best of luck to him, I hope he does well.

People were quick to bash the club for releasing him but this move probably shows where his overall health and fitness is at when he’s going to the team bottom of the championship on a 2 year deal. I think the idea he could play top flight football is now proving to be a bit of a long shot.

[Zambernardi1875]

What a signing

[Smartie]

If they’ve got a bit of mobility up front and plenty of players to help Allan by doing his running for him, this could be one of the signings of the season.

How many tight games are there in that league that are crying out for the kind of contribution that few in the country can provide better than Scott Allan?

I reluctantly accepted the conclusion that it was time for him to move on from Hibs but I’d love to see him succeed elsewhere.

[Carheenlea]

Health issues or not, if Scott Allan was a 6’2 no-nonsense bruiser then there would likely have been a good few clubs in the top flight who would happily have taken him on.

Think he'd be great in the middle with Omeonga 😉 In all seriousness good luck to him. Wish him all the best.

[lyonhibs]

The King of the reverse pass. Wonderful player, real shame that his health curtailed/so heavily impacted his time with us. The type of player that, on his day, Scotland produces once a decade at best.

Good post Tom

I wish Scott Allan all the best at Arbroath FC and hope it all works out for him as it will be a massive test

I just wish he wisnae wearing maroon

Thanks for the memories Scotty Boy

[The Harp]

Glad such a talent isn't going to be lost to the Scottish game.
Well done on your move to Arbroath, Scotty.
All the best for the future.

Good luck Scotty

Good luck Scott.

Scott seemed at times to have a sixth sense and his awareness especially re Boyler was amazing.

Wish him all the best.


He was a class above :flag: wish him all the best :hibees

[Crunchie]

Plenty clubs will sign him but he will need to lower his wage request. Queens Park will sign him if he does.
He can't have been asking for much if he's signed for Arbroath.

Anyway good luck Scotty hope it works out for you pal.

[Diclonius]

Good luck Scott, Arbroath have a player.

[Mick O'Rourke]

Thanks for the memories,Scott
You are one of the most talented and gifted fooballers to wear the Hibernian Green in recent times.
All the best to you with the Red Lichties.
Hopefully we draw you in the Scottish Cup this season at ER and an opportunity to give you a big thank you.

[Paloschi]

One of my all time favorites to watch at Hibs and worth the entrance fee alone on some performances. People will say wasted potential at times and the health issues hindered him but he made football look beautiful, that is enough to say he was a sensational player and a true hero at Hibs. He can be proud of his lasting impact. The Sevco episode can be forgiven as he is a Sevco fan and he gave his all and repaid our faith when he returned here.

A classy and talented player and I wish him all the best.

[Mick O'Rourke]

I understand that Scott would have did well financially at Celtic Park.
However, the game in Scotland lost out, as in 4 seasons at Celtic he played in only a handful of games for them
Yes he went out on loan,but played little football in 4 years .
His abiding football memories will be his time with us.

Wonderful player what a midfield we had with SJM Dylan and Scott. Good luck Scott.

Not many players would have survived being a known Hun then leaving for a move to go through to one of the uglies, only to return and it's all basically forgotten about. Just goes to show how talented and loved he was by Hibs fans!

Easily one of my favourite ever Hibs players and that includes every spell he had at us. Gutted when he left but absolutely delighted he's back in the game again, love the man.

[He's here!]

He still had so much to give Hibs had it not been for his medical condition. Arguably deprived him - and us - of the best years of his career. A wonderful player on his day. Glad he's found a club.

All the best with your new club Scotty, stick in sur . Talent never leaves. :not worth

[Dashing Bob S]

Terrific player. Love him and wish nothing but the best for him.

Allan was a joy to watch, so best wishes for him.

Watched that. It was a frustrating couple seasons for him and the fans as he wasn't given the chance to string together matches and show if he really still had it. Apart from that one spell under Ross which had him run the show in the first half against DU in the cup.

An extra reason to wish Arbroath all the best for the season, wouldn't be surprised if Scott is back in the Premiership next season with another team.

Just watching it now, seems really frustrated about the lack of chances he got and thought he was biting his tongue a bit when asked a couple of questions
