Hibs midfielder Scott Allan joins Celtic

Last updated : 15 August 2015 By Steve Forbes

Hibs midfielder Scott Allan has tonight completed his move along the M8 to Celtic.

The 23-year-old has signed a 4-year-deal with the Parkhead club, and joins for a fee of around £275,000.

It's not been confirmed, but Hibs are thought to have added a 10% sell-on clause in the deal.

Hibs are also expected to announce the signings of Dylan McGeouch on a permanent deal and the loan signing of Liam Henderson from Celtic, as part of the deal, later tonight or early tommorow morning.

The transfer saga of Scott Allan has dragged on all summer, with Rangers three derisory bids thrown out, the player handing in a transfer request, and Hibs refusing to sell to their Championship title rivals at Ibrox.

English side Rotherham also registered an interest, but Allan had no interest in the move.

It's good that the saga is finally over, and the club can now move on and challenge for promotion back to the top tier, where we belong.

Hibernian-Mad would like to wish Scott all the very best at his new club (until he plays against us that is!!)
