Dave king hurry up and show us your money if you really mean business pal allan desperate for ibrox but he can't hang on forever .

13 Aug 2015 23:37:54
Wake up buddy! There is no money! If use really wanted Allan u would have him! Stubbs can say all he wants,but if use hadn't started the bidding at a hundred odd grand and went in with a serious bid then u would have him!

14 Aug 2015 00:02:52
Have to agree there isn't enough money for Allan. Think you'll find the last bid of £300k was our upper limit. Tbh I don't think Celtic really need him it's just them flexing their financial muscles and making sure a player with potential doesn't end up at Ibrox. Let's face it for £275k plus a couple of players not needed at Parkhead it's not much of a gamble for them. Sorry but the real man to blame in all of this is Ally. Had the chance to get Allan and Gordon last season but the inept one went for Simonsen and Hutton instead. Really says it all about him and what kind of damage he has done to the club

14 Aug 2015 00:28:22
Celtic have supposedly bid 275k plus a player on loan plus a young boy on a permanent deal who was on loan there last season according to reports. All told not exactly a massive sum. Are Celtic paying what hibs were after? It's never been how much dh88, it's always been who to. Hibs won't sell to a championship rival, simple as that.

14 Aug 2015 08:20:41
For the first time on this forum you're as near to being right as you'll ever be, Dunderheed.

13 Aug 2015 22:04:37
Why would allan join celtic to go back to the club he is trying to get out of till the end of the season, Nonsense.

13 Aug 2015 20:28:19
Listen lads dk told us what we want to hear an that's it.to many unspent promises from previous boards and looks like dk at it too.hate to say it boys but think we be mid table team if and when we get up cause we skint i'm afraid

13 Aug 2015 21:10:05
Bollocks why pay over the odds for out of contract player and the main point davie is that hibs would not sell to us . Would you waste a million! Get real.

13 Aug 2015 21:14:01
What do u base that on? The fact that we won't pay over the odds for a player in the last year of his contract

14 Aug 2015 07:45:36
Pay over the odds . what 500k for a player with allan ability or are we going to sign a 35 year old has been for 2 years in eustace.sa with a 2 year contract is a player with a value well over a million.hibs are skint we go in with a bid just to unsettle the player if we want him we pay the rate and to tell u the truth he prob better than any player we got.dk playing mind games with every supporter.come buy season tickets we will pay whatever ut takes . lol ye right have we actually paid for any1.think we getting led up the garden path.if we don't get promoted this year rangers as a big club is gone cause fans won't buy into it abymore

13 Aug 2015 17:10:11
10 minutes past 5 pm

No mention from tv updates that SA is at ceptic park - that is just nasty rumours.

Only news is QOS sign Kyle Hutton

Rotherham may bid again for SA but only if he is open to offers!

13 Aug 2015 17:36:37
hes not at sceptics midden the clubs are still negotiating but with allan saying he would join sceptic its only a matter of time

13 Aug 2015 19:59:44
Allan needs to step back and truly ask himself as a rangers fan could he really enjoy playing and give 110 percent for them. Personally I really couldn't do it no matter the money.

If he does clearly money has talked and probably more importantly his agent wanting a bigger pay day has twisted the arm.

Fingers crossed he is bigger than that.

If not so what we move on and enjoy winning the championship anyway.

The people

13 Aug 2015 21:31:29
Would you say Judas Johnson gave 100% when he played for you or if miller gave 100% to both clubs , grow up when these guys are young they spend every sat and Sunday Playing football not going to games , they are professional players and give 100% to whoever they play for , what about king Kenny do you think he gave 100% playing in the hoops? Despite him and his family being big rangers fans .

13 Aug 2015 23:01:27
Mo Johnstone ran himself into the ground every single game he played for us! Absolutely brilliant professional and top player. I will be surprised if Allan signs for Celtic, I don't think he's good enoughcompared to Armstrong and johansen.

13 Aug 2015 15:04:50
Scott allen might not go to septic if he does he will never be able to play for rangers his boyhood club and a think halliday is playing a big part on him wanting to join rangers good friends he will be a bear let's all calm down guys

13 Aug 2015 15:45:44
Wake up.
He is not coming to Rangers.
Will be joining the manky mob.

Don't think it will be good for his career, but that's up to him.
Can't be that much of a Rangers man if he can't stay put till January.

Forget him.

13 Aug 2015 17:39:19
Ladbrokes have him 4/7 on to join the soap dodgers.bookies are very rarely wrong.

13 Aug 2015 20:28:02
Why would Celtic even want him?

13 Aug 2015 14:39:47
let the lad go to celtic. one man doesn't make a team and its a team game. my take is that we are solely to blame and should've offered the going rate for a decent holding midfielder and that certainly is NOT 270. 000 quid.
he will regret his decision when malmo pump them and then just like last year no euro after December.
look at the bigger picture son as we are back next year and if and its a big IF we win the Scottish cup we are back in Europe if i'm correct. ( we have 3 years books I feel). remember scott. what goes around and the gers are in your heart. deecee

13 Aug 2015 15:09:15
but 250k for McKay Stevens a recognised premier player with 1 international cap (albeit for a few mins) is a going rate?

13 Aug 2015 15:09:34
I am sure Dave King will not allow SA move to celtic. I am sure he will step in and match any offer from Celtic and SA will choose us over them.

13 Aug 2015 15:28:43
Ffs Really? We will be crap in Europe and next year despite all your recent problems you will give him European football but it will be better than ours and will last after Decembers? Is that what your saying mate?


Pass the sour grapes.

13 Aug 2015 15:43:28
Hahaha ABHABH u really do live in fantasy land pal! U will match what we will offer! Mate Uve had 3 bids that havnt even made it over 300 grand! Use won't got to the money hibs want because u don't have it! And for what it's worth I don't want him at us! Because he ain't good enough! Simple as that!

13 Aug 2015 16:36:14
FEBRUARY 19th and 26th 2015 (you know, after December) Celtic played Inter Milan, let's hope for Rangers sake deecee that what you feel is more accurate than what you know. Better luck next time. :)

13 Aug 2015 17:21:27
ok gaz ill give you those 2 games . let's see how things work out this time round.normally isupport Scottish teams in Europe . but not after Collins stupid remarks. can't even beat killie.

13 Aug 2015 17:50:52
Really deecee in the history of all things old firm John Collins remarks was the thing that turned you into a Malmo fan next week, wow, we do get easily offended these days, don't we. I don't believe you for a second by the way. There's no shame in it, just say it as it is but that was the straw that broke the camels back for you, wow!

I don't want you to do well in Europe either but I'm selfish, why have your main rival richer or stronger through European progression? I don't dress it up as some mock offended crap, but equally I'm not daft and know I'm coming from supporting the team that WILL be seeded for the foreseeable future given our recent European efforts, you on the other hand, I would think, need every Scottish favour going but Rangers and seeing the bigger picture, it will never catch on, will it?

13 Aug 2015 18:23:09
Dh88 that was sarcasm on my part. I am well aware that we were never going to be able to afford SA. The derisory bids were a desperate attempt by DK to sell season tickets.

13 Aug 2015 18:44:15
spending a lot of time on here gaz. paranoid maybe that we are on the way back. and there's as much chance of you lot beating malmo a Collins stopping talking through his nose. know what a bean.

13 Aug 2015 19:25:26
Sorry bud,thought u were being serious! To be honest I really don't understand why we're pursuing the player! It's a strange one! Still think the boy will end up with use! He's made no secret he wants to join u! And in January u'll get him for cut price or a pre contract! I wouldn't be so sure he's off to us! As for DK! Still think use should be wary of the guy! Lot of shooting his mouth off about overspending,but then it's tryin to pay buttons for Allan!

14 Aug 2015 01:16:39
deecee how many times can you be wrong in one day? Can I get your lottery numbers for the weekend so I can perm the other 43? First of your genius line "spending a lot of time on here" it's actually my first in about 2 weeks, I made myself a promise not to write till some nugget was inaccurate about Celtic, that's where you come in with your ever so wrong statement about December, third wrong is still on me spending time in here, I'm pretty sure I've been on this site longer than you regardless of who I support. Fourth (like I said you've had some day of it) do you still think "Allan will sign for us"? Oh and the word you were looking for I presume was mean not bean. That's five in four hours deecee maybe football knowledge isn't your thing. So on the back of this I am now in better spirits about Malmo because if you tip them we must surely have a good chance, thanks deecee made me smile more than a few times today. :)

13 Aug 2015 13:11:55
Scott Allan is a proper Blue Nose from Glasgow not the watered down type like Mad Broonie.

Scott Allan grew up a mile from Ibrox and has supported them man and boy.

Scott Allan is desperate to join his beloved club and join his best pal Andy Halliday.

Scott Allan will be so angry if Stubbed offers him to ceptic.

Scott Allan will now force his way out of Hibs and join Ibrox.

If the twitter news is correct and ceptic have been offered Scott Allan then it is true what we have all thought, this is nothing to do with football but everything to do with bigotry and sectarianism.

Think for a minute if Scott Allan went to ceptic and hibs won their league is Scott Allan then not a direct threat to hibs as he would be if he joined RFC. Are hibs not just as weakened now if they lose him to ceptic.

I think now Scott Allan will go public about his intention to join RFC and make know his gentleman's agreement and written transfer request.

I am so angry with hibs infantile games about the ones that are suffering, when it is their intransigence towards Scott Allan, the hibs players and the hibs fans. If he wants to go to RFC then let him go and move on.

13 Aug 2015 13:51:09
It's nothin to do with bigotry mate!they don't want to sell to a rival plus we ain't put in a decent bid to tempt hibs think u need to calm down!if he signs for Celtic then so be it let the boy get on with his career!

13 Aug 2015 14:02:56
'If the twitter news is correct and ceptic have been offered Scott Allan then it is true what we have all thought, this is nothing to do with football but everything to do with bigotry and sectarianism.'

WTF? What this has to do with sectarianism is beyond me.

13 Aug 2015 14:05:41
What a load of tosh. Hibs and Rangers are both in the same league and both are desperate to win to get up and live a more financially stable and exciting existence. Selling Allan to Rangers makes no sense this season for Hibs it's as simple as that. It would weaken their team and championship ambitions and would loose them more money than Rangers would pay as their fans would vote with their feet. There is nothing infantile about this on Hibs side of the coin as they are in a no win siutuation as far as selling him to Rangers goes. If Celtic want him, and it's a big if as in my mind this is just cheap media crap, then they can afford to buy him and afford to pay him well and give him European football. It's the year 2015, it's not all about who you supported as a boy anymore for the majority of the sensible population.

13 Aug 2015 12:53:31
This is an interesting situation that Scott finds himself in, wait it out for 10 months and sign for the club you love, or go to their biggest rivals, and never play a moment of first team football, which let's face It he won't. Celtic have many better Midfielders than scott currently. He can go to them if he wants though, would show how much of a money grabber the kid is, or he can wait and come to us and show there is loyalty in football.

13 Aug 2015 13:11:16
R u for real? He would walk right into celtics team WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT, he played at a better level than most of the midfielders Celtic have brought in of late, far better player than rogic, more mobile than biton, more technec and better all round play than brown and Johnson, the only reason y Celtic haven't went for him until now, is that he's a Rangers man through and through, and if he's a Rangers man through and through, the only time he'll b at parkhead, is when he's there with the away team! Dig your heels in Scotty boy just like Stubbs is doing to u, they can except 3m for all they care, it's up to the player where he's going, this should b a classic case of what Stubbs did to me I'll b doing to him!! WATP

13 Aug 2015 13:11:40
As a Rangers fan I have to disagree on one thing, that would be that Scott Allan would not rot on the bench he would break into that team within a year, that my opinion!

Now he can leave and get Hibs a fee and I'm sure Stubbs would be comfortable with that for many of reasons!

If he sticks it out, with Hibs and signs for Rangers pre-contract, then he is destined to get a lucrative personal contract for sure!

Best thing he can do, if he is a Rangers man is stick it out with Hibs and sign when Rangers will be back where they belong!

Trust me when Rangers go back up to the SPL, the hype alone, will put Celtic in the shadows! Exciting times!

13 Aug 2015 13:30:48
What if he decides to reject Celtic waiting for his 'dream ' move and tears his ligaments next week in training? Will rangers show him loyalty then?

13 Aug 2015 13:37:35
OP Do you really think SA would never get a game for a team that drew with Killie last night?

I do still hope that the boy comes to Rangers but won't be calling him a money grabber if he doesnt. The board made derisory offers for him hoping at best to get him on a free contract come the next transfer window. Dangerous game to play and now looks like it could backfire, especially if Celtic were to loan him out to Hibs.

13 Aug 2015 12:21:08
Hope Scott Allan doesn't get stick if he decides to sign for Celtic, it is his career after all. Looks a good player and might command a pretty fee in a few years? Would of been nice signing instead of Hutton haha hindsight is a great thing!
In my opinion a little petty on hibs/Stubbs behalf but not to worry.

13 Aug 2015 12:40:22
From a purely professional standpoint its a no brainer, he has to join Celtic.His agent will advise him to as well I reckon.

13 Aug 2015 12:50:36
Actually gkk, from a professional point it is nothing short of foolish, he'll never get first team football, if he wants to find a comfy seat on the bench then go for it.

13 Aug 2015 12:10:46
Obviously I hope we sign Scott Allan at some point but a small part of me hopes they sell to Celtic and they loan him back (as some rumours seem to be) as it would perfectly exemplify the pettiness and pathetic nature of scottish football towards Rangers. Don't get me wrong, totally understand hibs not selling to us now (I'd probably do the same) but it would show Celtic willing to spend 500k+ on a player that even their own fans would say doesn't improve their squad, and at 23 coming up 24 he's not exactly the youngest player and to loan him back to hibs would just show how petty the two clubs are towards us. Now i'm not usually the "it's all about the Rangers" type when it comes to things like this but such a transfer would be hard to describe differently!

13 Aug 2015 12:55:52
why is selling SA to us different than selling Colin Stein, Kevin Thomson, Ian Murray to us before and Scott Brown to the Cheltic?

13 Aug 2015 08:39:56
There seems to be a bit of confusion as to where Dominic balls actually plays. Is he a defender or Defensive midfielder? This is an extract from Metro:

Defensive midfielder Ball, meanwhile, spent last campaign on loan at Cambridge, and he has also been sent to Rangers by Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Ball, who can also play centre-back, confirmed the move to the Scottish Championship side on his Twitter profile.

So has the Eustace deal crashed out?

{Ed001's Note - according to scouting sites, he is a centre back who can also play right back or defensive midfield.}

13 Aug 2015 10:18:11
yeah I've read the same Ed. I assume there has been no new news on the Eustace deal? Haven't heard anything on this for a few weeks now.

{Ed001's Note - not a thing mate, I assume this is an instead signing.}

12 Aug 2015 21:53:14
Hope Warburton notices Mark O'hara from killie against Celtic tonight he looked different class from any other player in his team, gets the ball at the back and is comfortable moving forward with it, doesn't waste a pass and does his defensive side really well too!

13 Aug 2015 06:33:53
Celtic will probably go for him as they go for the good opposing players less of a challenge then.

13 Aug 2015 11:21:32
Said that in the summer and everybody said we should aim higher than killie lol!

13 Aug 2015 12:59:15
Not that I am suggesting that the girobhoys are petty but could they be doing a Darius Adamczuk on us?
Buy him lend back and sell in a season or so?
