Get real. With the press, agents, scouts, supporters and even players' own team mates making it known when another club is interested it's hardly a give away if the interested party makes a bid. It's the same for every other club under the sun as it is for Rangers. Do you seriously think no Hibs signing has ever had a clue about your club's interest until their present club had received and accepted an offer? Tapping up is when you make an offer of terms to a player without permission from his club, and no one has made any sort of accusation of that here. And if there's more media attention on Rangers targets it's also worked the other way just as much with any interest in a Rangers player being plastered all over the tabloids.

I agree though about Allan's attitude. I'd like to think that, even if he wants to leave, if you don't agree to sell he'll continue to do his best for Hibs. You just have to look at Luis Suarez and his attempt to leave Liverpool to see how that level of professionalism can pay off for both parties. The reason Liverpool sold Sterling was because they knew he doesn't have that level of integrity and couldn't have been considered for selection, and he's made a very negative name for himself already as a result of his demands for the move. A lot of people are now hoping he'll fail badly at City.
