I can't see this happening hibeejim if officials of Hibs FC have their way and the main reasons for that intransigence are:- 1. The disgust re Rangers failed incursion, and antagonistic shenanigans, on Scotty Allan at the beginning of the season 2. Their latest shameful 'spin', and the lack of contrition/comment re the shit behaviour of their fans during the day and night of Saturday 21 May, after the cup final!! 
This position reminds me of the Colin Stein affair that took place in the late 1960s. It's a long time ago but during that period, soon after Hibs epic confrontation with Revie's Leeds United side in the Fairs Cities Cup, I'm sure he was being monitored by Everton(?) and a deal was eventually brokered with 'the toffees' to transfer him out to Goodison Park. The deal fell through and the main culprit for this failure turned out to be Stein himself who, it transpired later, declared himself to be a hun!! He'd never said a thing re that affiliation during his successful period at Easter Road and I can recall that whole saga left 'a very bad taste in the mouths' of many Hibs board members and fans although the club did receive £100k from GRFC! That story is slightly different but there is a similarity in the circumstances where Hibs do not wanna sell to this kinda footie club!!
