Celtic midifelder Scott Allan is starring on loan at Scottish Premiership rivals Hibernian since returning to Easter Road in January.
Does Scott Allan have a future at Celtic?
Possibly not. One of the most talented yet puzzling players in the Scottish game right now, Allan has found his very best form once again since returning to where it all began, in other words Hibernian, during the January transfer window.
Allan has barely featured for Celtic since he moved to Parkhead from Easter Road in 2015 but, after disappointing loan spells at MK Dons and Dundee, is thriving again under Neil Lennon in Edinburgh.
And it seems that, given the chance, Lennon would love to keep the 25-year-old at Hibs next season.
“We’ve got an option to buy Flo,” Lennon told the Daily Record when talking about the possibility of loanees Florian Kamberi, Jamie MacLaren and Allan staying at Easter Road
“As for the other two, that remains to be seen. Scotty brings that something a little bit different.
“Not only his quality going forward but his infectious personality and what he brings to the dressing room as well as on the pitch.”
Now, Allan might have been excellent since moving back to Hibs, starring in particular in a 2-1 win against Rangers after which Lennon described the former West Brom loanee as ‘unplayable’.
But Celtic have already made the decision to bring back on loaned out playmaker next season with Ryan Christie due to return after 18 stellar months at Aberdeen.
There may be no room in the inn for Allan, but Lennon will surely offer him a good home.
