Admins 100% called it right.

I knew it was a heart condition but I didn't know exactly what, I was told back in September that he wouldn't play again.

Was later told that insurance company was involved and retirement due to ill health was on the cards but it all took time.

More recently told that second opinions were being sought and then obviously he was back in the squad.

Not saying for a minute all of what I was told was correct and to be honest it doesn't matter a jot if it was right or wrong.

Important thing is Scott is back within touching distance to starting a game for Hibs, something a lot of people (including players) didn't think would happen.

The worst thing I have ever witnessed on a football pitch was Alen Orman at Easter Road years ago when I thought I was witnessing something tragic.

When it was announced that Scott was on his way back that was the first thing that sprang to my mind. However I am sure it wouldn't be allowed if he was in danger and we can look forward to his fantastic fight against the odds continue.

Heard the exact same thing as you Scoopyboy. I genuinely believe that after his first diagnosis was given retirement was definitely considered.

I’m absolutely delighted the news is now so positive, from Scott Allan’s perspective and from a selfish point of view because I want to see him back in a Hibs jersey again. I’ve never hidden my thoughts on him as a player, watching someone with his ability is why I love football.

I would hope given time he will get back to his best and if possible will be an even better player and he will finally get the Scotland call up his talents deserve.
