Frank Sauzee - Champions League Winner
Russell Latapy - Played in the Champions League for Porto in 1996 before 4th placed teams were getting in and went on to play in a World Cup
Scott Allan is nowhere near them. But is it down to how far we had fallen that we had a stand out player and think we can make the comparison? Is this a byproduct of the poorer quality of the leagues since 2000? Hibs Hearts and Rangers all played Championship Football when Scott Allan was standing out initially.
Wee Russell is up there but does anyone remember the game back in 2015 when Scottie ran the show versus Der Hun and Ian Black got himself booked then subbed last heard of playing for Tranent Juniors
Pure dead brilliant so it wiz :greengrin
Scott Allan was a big part of dragging us up off our knees after relegation. Yes, he started in the Championship with us but so did Latapy and Sauzee (neither of whom I want to put down in any way in order to make a point). When Allan got fit during the Championship season he stood out a mile.
The best we got from Allan was during that half season with Lennon though. At that point he was playing in the top league in a good team, and he was different class. That team got the most points in Scotland during that half of the season and he was a big part of it.
Sauzee and Latapy were both magnificent but ON HIS DAY Scott Allan could influence games in the same way as they could. He probably wasn't quite as consistent as Latapy (who was immaculate during his whole time with us) and comparing him to Sauzee is a bit like comparing apples and oranges.
I'm happy that he's spoken of in the same breath as those excellent players. When I look back on my time watching Hibs, Scott Allan will be up there with my favourite players.
Since the closure of the transfer window, Scott has really upped his training and has been staying late, more effort and doing additional training… trying to win Jack Ross back over. I’m glad to hear this and I’m sure many other are too.
Hibs seem to use his lovely wee coupon on their Twitter feed at every opportunity. There doesn’t appear to be any disenchantment and I’m glad about that.
Me & my brother were sitting within touching distance of him on Saturday and both said he looks a lot trimmer than he was earlier in the season. Want nothing more than a fit Scott Allan doing what he does.
It’s also unfortunate for him that Magennis has found such good form
I will start off by saying I am a huge fan of Scott, absolute quality midfielder and the type of player I love to watch. However, he is nowhere near as good as Latapy and Sauzee. It’s not even close.
I would compare Scott to Liam Miller, another who was a joy to watch on his day. Allan more capable of that killer pass but Miller had ability in spades and was a player I’d love to have seen in a better Hibs side, like the 2017/18 one playing McGeouchs role.
Dear god it’s not hard to work out that he’s doing a bit more to get noticed.
That doesn’t mean he’s not trying in training. He might have before put in 100% in training for the length of time it lasted then went home.
Maybe now he’s working harder by adapting his game to suit what Jack Ross wants? Working more in his own time defensively and winning the ball back.
In the gym he might be doing more explosive work to make him get faster and be stronger in winning the ball back and protecting it when he gets it.
Just because he’s putting in more effort now doesn’t mean that he wasn’t trying in training.
Not heard that, I'm only going by what Black Sheep has said.
Since his move fell through he is now seemingly working really hard, so why was he not working hard before?
My point was you shouldn't need a possible transfer to make you buck your ideas up.
We all know the stick that Stevenson and Hanlon get on here but those two knock their pan in, day in day out. When they hang their boots up they know they gave it their all and will have no regrets.
