There’s times he is frustrating as he slows the tempo down a lot but it was clear today how much we missed him.
Better player than he’s given credit for (including from me at times)

If you're not going to even feature in a game that's crying out for your talent then what's the point.
Any one of the midfield three (probably Gogic) should have made way for Allan at half time at the latest.
We're wasting our most creative player.
My point is though that last season he was out injured for a spell and was brought straight back in when fit. I wasn’t alone in thinking he wasn’t great when he returned,but he was continually selected. The same is happening this season with McGinn, albeit we don’t have much competition for his position.
There are certain players the manager has total belief in and will allow them to play through some poor form.
We should have. I'm not saying we weren't the better team. We clearly were and Gogic was actually better second half. I still think Allan should be playing in these kind of games when you know the teams going to sit back and flood the midfield.
Missed chance for me.
His history does indeed indicate that Scott will be speaking to Ross and pushing for a loan move.
A loan move works for Scott because he will get to play and importantly for him, will also get all of his Hibs wage.
However, unless the loan club is making a significant contribution to his wage there is nothing in it for Hibs and that's the reason Scott will end up sitting tight.
Similarly, no way he will go anywhere on a permanent unless we pay him off so again nothing in it for Hibs if he wants paid up.
Hibs and Scott are trapped by his contract. A player on say £4k a week who no team would pay more than £1k a week for so Hibs likely to keep him as a playing option just in case he is needed.
I have my doubts that he will still be here at the end of the window.
You are replying to one post out of context hence it appears bizarre.
It is the last part of a discussion with poster Jeffers.
If you look back in the thread you will see the earlier parts of the conversation between us and hopefully that will allow you to add something meaningful to the discussion.
Scotty Just a fantastic player. Why anyone would wish him away is beyond me.
To be honest, I like SA, but, I dont think he will be here by the end of the season, he is hardly playing, been out too long, I think for him a move is best.
If we released Scotty or he became a free agent I would put money on Aberdeen snapping him up.
Everyone knows how good a player he can be on his day, we should be doing everything we can to get him back to that level.
In fairness, he started the season as the first pick in the role behind the striker.
A red card in the first game meant he was subbed and Magennis brought on who done very well. Allan was then injured for the next game.
Magennis continued to perform well.
Allan then couldn’t travel to our away leg in Europe.
He can’t have any arguments yet as Magennis has been doing very well. Against Dundee he was never getting on whilst we were winning 2-1, Ross always goes for the safe approach at this score which is fair enough.
Once he gets his chance he needs to take it.
I think the thing is he was a brilliant player. [emoji122] now just not got the pace for some reason . I'm sure the reason he does not play is in training the other midfielders are fitter and quicker. He will get caught on the ball.
Loved the guy but a move away might be best [emoji108] there is no way another contract will be offered .

Was there not talk of a new contract last week?
I'm sure we could have loaned him out to Inverness again if we really wanted which suggests he's part of Jack Ross' plans. I think he'll play a bit part role, but a role none the less.
he looked a tad podgy in the photo i saw of him at training the other day, shame a great wee footballer
Will be amazed if Allan is not away before the window closes. Agree with comments that, sadly, Scotty is not likely to get a new deal, especially as Jack shows little appetite to play him.
