Scott Allan: transfer request & third Rangers bid

Reports today suggest Rangers are
on the verge of submitting a third bid for Hibs’ star midfielder Scott Allan.

On top of the claims the player
will be formally handing in a transfer request this afternoon, the mooted bid
the Ibrox men are said to be weighing up is roughly £450,000 up front with a
further £200,000 if Rangers manage promotion.

After the former Arab was snapped
at Glasgow’s Bier Halle (the workplace of U20s coach Ian Durrant’s son Max) on Sunday
surrounded by his agent and a glut of Rangers players past and present, it has
become evident Allan’s heart is 100% set on switching to Govan.

At this point it is unclear if
the speculated terms of the third bid would be enough to force Hibs to part
ways with Allan, but they nevertheless risk losing him for nothing down the
line and having an unhappy player on their books, a scenario which never ends
well.

The saga goes on.
