Aberdeen, Dundee United join race for Hibernian's Scott Allan?

Hibernian midfielder Scott Allan has reportedly attracted interest from Aberdeen and Dundee United.

The 23-year-old, who has been linked with a move to Rangers, handed in a transfer request earlier today.

Aberdeen are preparing to table a £250,000 bid for Allan, who featured as a substitute in Hibs' first competitive match of the season - a 6-2 defeat to Rangers in the Petrofac Training Cup last weekend - according to Sky Sports News.

Rangers have had two bids for the player rejected, with Hibs later issuing a statement confirming that they are unwilling to sell to a Scottish Championship rival.

Allan's former club Dundee United are thought to be in a position to meet Hibs' asking price after selling a number of key players this summer.
