If this deal goes through Scott Allan will join a long list of players that Celtic have bought from Hibs in the hope of finding a gem. The one who stands out over the last 5 or 6 years is Scott Brown who has repaid the transfer fee many times over.
We were all happy that he would be staying and looked forward to a successful season with the possibility of challenging Rangers for the title but once again when Rod gets the smell of money in his nostrils our willpower disappears.
I have a feeling that Celtic made their bid more in an effort to get one over on Rangers than a serious move to strengthen their team for the SPFL and the Champions League. Time will tell but I don`t see Allan being a regular 1st team player -if he eventually goes.
