I told you at the beginning of all this Hibs were working behind the scenes to move Allan out the door. They knew he was going to leave at the end of the season whatever happened. I've also pointed out that it suited Hibernian rather than Rangers to have the details of our bids leaked to the media, so where was that information most likely coming from? Then Celtic - who claimed they'd been after the player all along - got their man and the Hibs chiefs come away as heroes to their fans for selling their best player because they did so to Celtic and not Rangers. So Dave King's version of events actually makes perfect sense. I also don't really see what he had to gain from saying what he did if it was a lie. Dempster on the other hand has form for being 'economical' with the truth: reneging on a verbal agreement with Allan to let him go if a bigger club came in for him and misrepresenting what had happened with the fixture change at the end of last season. Even in this case she just issued a brief statement saying King's version was not correct, but didn't actually say what aspect wasn't correct.
