Celtic to bid for Scott Allan

After months of the Scott Allan
saga, today the story took another twist when Sky Sources reported Celtic have
taken an interest in the playmaker.

Allan, who put in a transfer
request a number of weeks ago, has long been known as a Rangers fan and is
eager to clinch his dream move to Ibrox, but this latest development will
certainly test that resolve.

Celtic do not lack the finances
to bid what Hibs claim they want for the player, but it now looks like Allan
either stays at Easter Road, holds on for the pre-contract to Ibrox in January,
or switches to Parkhead now.

There is little doubt this would
be a petty snipe at Rangers, given Celtic arguably do not need the player, but
it definitely fits into one of those ‘twists’ of the transfer window I
anticipated occurring.
