Hibs' Scott Allan hands in transfer request

Last updated : 28 July 2015 By Steve Forbes

Hibs midfielder Scott Allan has today handed in a transfer request.

The 23-year-old submitted the request in the wake of two shockingly low transfer offers from his "boyhood heroes" Rangers, of £175,000 & £225,000 in the past week or so.

Hibs confirmed that the player had put in a transfer request by releasing the following statement.

"In the face of continued media interest, Hibernian Football Club can confirm that Scott Allan has today handed in a written transfer request.

This comes on the back of two unwelcome and uninvited approaches from Rangers FC regarding Scott, the first for £175,000 and the second for £225,000.

Hibernian FC has refused both bids because the Club has no wish to transfer a valuable player to strengthen a major rival in the battle to win the Championship and gain promotion to the Premiership.

Hibernian’s position has not changed. The player will not be sold to Rangers."

A fantastic response from the club.

On the downside, some absolute idiots, calling themselves Hibs fans, have taken to twitter to send some vile, and absolutely disgusting tweets to the player.

Hibernian-Mad calls on these so called "supporters" to stop the disgusting tweets and show some class - some #Hibsclass.
