Warburton on Allan: “We’ll see what happens”
Mark Warburton today has left the
Scott Allan saga open, and failed to pour cold water over reported interest
from Rangers over the Hibernian playmaker’s signature.
Rangers have been long-linked
with the former Dundee United midfielder, and would be a capture Rangers fans
are eager to see materialise, and Warburton has not ruled it out.
Speaking following his side’s
productive display at Ibrox last night, the manager said:
“Scott Allan is a Hibernian player and I
think it’s really disrespectful for any manager to talk about another team’s player,
if I’m honest with you.”
Oddly enough this is not that
different to what Jose Mourinho said about Falcao, before becoming more direct
about his own interest in the Colombian, which led to his signing.
But Warburton cryptically added
about Allan:
“So, from my point of view, we focus on what
we have here and see what happens in the coming days.”
Whether this implies a general
focus on the transfer market, or is a direct reference to stepping up interest
in the creative midfielder is not overly clear, but last night’s performance
did suggest invention in the middle of the park would not be unwelcome.
