Scott Allan shares the inside story on his Celtic transfer & career | Celtic FC Podcast

This is the Official Celtic FC Podcast and on this episode, we are joined by former midfielder Scott Allan.
The ex-Hibernian, Dundee United, West Bromwich Albion and Hoops players sits down to go through his football career and his time in the green and white in Glasgow.
Allan goes into detail about his much talked about move in the summer of 2015 from Hibs to Paradise before going through the highs and lows of his time under Ronny Deila and Brendan Rodgers.
He shares some amazing insight into how the Invincible Treble was won in the 2016/17 season and tells some superb teammate stories.
Allan also looks back on the rest of his footballing career and playing for the likes of Neil Lennon in Edinburgh, and what it was like to share a changing room with Nicolas Anelka at West Brom.

I was always gutted we didn't play him more ...a fine player on his day

[@alba..8479]

Excellent to hear Scott Allan has his lad in celtics academy 👏 👍 🙌 😀

[@dougmasters4579]

He was a stylish player.

[@mel290]

Scott definitely didn’t get enough games in his time at Celtic. I felt sorry for him in a sense as it was such a big move for him and it just didn’t work out for whatever reason. I think I also wanted him to do well because he was getting so much flak from the other side of the city. It’s nice to see he’s not bitter about it though. He’s always come across as being a lovely lad. Watched him a lot after his time at Celtic, mostly when he was with Dundee and he offered a lot on the ball. Could spot a pass and open up a defence. So there was a really good player there. Either way, he’s gone through a few hard times with his career and particularly with his health etc. he should still be so proud of himself that he was able to continue as well as he did, despite the health issues. Really enjoyed this, well done 👏

[@mickyjd1974]

Came across really well in that interview. I like the way he didn’t give away any team secrets. Top man

[@user-px2lw9sb1q]

Quality player shame it never worked out for him with us. Still a class career 👍🍀

[@Torky1965]

It surprised me Scotty never made it at Celtic he had the ability but some moves just don't work out. He's a good guy though and hopefully his bhoy will grace the park at Paradise in the future and I hope he remains healthy as that's more important than football, God bless him HH

[@ragnarlothbrok8026]

Scotty was the first player i had seen for years that could see and play a defence splitting pass.. a lost art these days🍀

[@user-pw6gm1tu6q]

when scott was at his best at easter road hes defo in my top 5 of exciting players to watch he cud spot and play passes nobody else could,and when fully fit b4 he lost a yard of pace the way he dropped a soldier and breezed past players with a change of pace was a delight to watch,him along side mcginn and mcgeogh under lennon was a great time to be a hibby,i cant help but regret the fact he missed our scottish cup win as it was between his spells with us

[@leannecampbell4551]

Great to see you again, Scott! 💚Ridiculously talented Bhoy, technically incredble. A career ruined by injury and his own health struggles.

[@jamesmcnally5838]

Well done Scott enjoy your life

[@79TROUBLESHOOTER]

A real shame it didn't work out for him or us at Celtic, but there's no doubt he was a really talented player. That ridiculous snooker shot of a pass through the heart of the Sevco defence from midfield when Hibs beat them at Ibroaks was a thing of beauty 👌

[@exitthelemming145]

It would be interesting to hear erstwhile manager Peter Houston's version of events with regards Scott's departure from Dundee Utd to West Brom. The papers in Scotland quoted Allan as having rejected a new contract offer from United and Houston as having tried to persuade Allan to stay but the youngster wanted 'the big move down south' too early in his career.

[@brianbru]

It was actually criminal how little we used Allan. His through balls were devastating. A hard midfield to break into I suppose but still.

[@dannywilson2310]

Good interview. I remember Scott breaking into the Dundee Utd team and right away you could see he was a talent. Was disappointing the way things turned out for him at Celtic, but to his credit he's pragmatic about it and comes across as a top lad.

[@gordonmcveigh5302]

what a realy nice guy give him a hail hail

[@ScottishT]

Loved this

[@ryanking4470]

Celtic chat starts around 24:50

[@gordonmcveigh5302]

good luck to the wee m AL JR

[@jk12114]

Scotts a real hero ! Who new he was there battling through interviews with Hibee supporters while struggling wi million pound transfer deals !Strugglin on to Surving driving Annelka ti work all the while overcoming nerves about the playlist ! Well done Scott 👏 btw strangest pre match food Dexters tablets and Digees 😂

[@jk12114]

P.s , Great player ! Great lad , Good luck

[@markybhoy4312]

Great content you dont have see the country jpd bit like myself in my job lol hopefully get to a live event one day

[@alba..8479]

Alan Smith takes me back...he was well underrated

[@user-pw6gm1tu6q]

people dont realise how bad it got for hibs around then before stubbsy came in,we were hanging around lower mid table the fans were unhappy with the product but we were gloating non stop because hearts troubles were coming home to roost and they were in admin and bottom of league defo going down,we were safe but changed manager and brought terry butcher in,he immediately lost the dressing room by telling everyone theyd be sold by the start of next season,we didnt win another game and ended up going down thru the playoff to hamilton,so after all the gloating about hearts we went down with them,stubbsy re built the squad and won us the cup with the help of a few celts on loan in dylan liam and stokesy

[@pm-tt1mu]

Ill never understand why he didn't get more game time way better than half the players at the club at that time

[@oglee5268]

What hoops career

[@neillynas9343]

Cannot believe they never asked how much was sevco being g 4 Yr old club played a part in his decision

[@leggie65]

The balls up Rangers where in would be too much for a young player .Especially for a hugely talented young player we aren't the most patient fans if things don't go as planned sadly.

[@stewarttoner5431]

Never really got a fair crack,best player in the championship by a mile when sevco were in it

[@John-vw3lr]

Good player but I think there was an element of Celtic signing him to stop him going to Rangers.

[@scotlandthebrave334]

Where's the January signings?

[@John-qy9nw]

Massive missed opportunity for a fantastic player.

[@Northruby138]

Who’s the wee guy in the middle

[@leannecampbell4551]

Calmac's brother

[@christopherodonnell7973]

Lewis Laird

[@jamesh8672]

To be honest when he came on that champs league game he was fine till he lost the ball and am sure the team scored if that never happened I think he would have been solid not messed about 🍀💚

[@user-ce5xw3gi4r]

Was europa league against Ajax, lost the ball from our own corner and they ran right up the park and scored 😂

[@jamesh8672]

@@user-ce5xw3gi4r aye that's right 💚

[@dougmasters4579]

@@user-ce5xw3gi4r Tbf right before that happened, Allan played a defence splitting pass to put Griffiths through one on one with the keeper, which he then blew. That would've won us the game. Deila pushed the whole team up for a winner.

[@tottiescone]

He must be like wtf

[@leggie65]

Destroyed that lads career going to celtic he could've been a star at the club he supported as a youth in the bygone days of yore.Sadly it was a case of if Rangers want him celtic will take him as they've never got over Mo Johnston going to Rangers.😂

[@apachesurvival5440]

"Yore", Mo Johnston....what are you on about ya absolute slever. Never got over Mo, we've not got off the floor from laughing at your club dying and yous letting it happen.

[@christinewilson2348]

You fancy a double?

[@tommccrisken5319]

Sorry it never happened for Scott, no doubting his talent, for one reason or another it sadly never took off.

[@DonnyBhoy]

Neil Lennon now a fucking hun some laugh these

[@euanc8951]

I can smell you lot from here

[@NorthernsoulBoy63]

Just didn't Score enough for me .
