Scott Allan (born 28 November 1991) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Portsmouth on loan from West Bromwich Albion, as a midfielder. Allan has previously played for Scottish clubs Dundee United and Forfar Athletic.
Early life
Allan was born on 28 November 1991 in Glasgow, and was a pupil at Rosshall Academy in Crookston until 2008.[1]
Club career
Dundee United
Allan joined Dundee United at the age of 10,[1] and signed a full-time contract in January 2008.[1] In September 2008 he represented United against Montrose in a Forfarshire Cup tie.[2]
Forfar (loan)
Allan signed for Forfar in September 2010 on an emergency loan until 30 October 2010.[1] He made his debut for them in a Second Division league fixture against Alloa on 2 September 2010.[3] In total he made four league appearances for Forfar, scoring one goal for them, in his last game for the club on 30 October 2010 against Livingston.[4]
Return to Dundee United
After returning to United, Allan was named on the bench for four SPL fixtures during the 2010–11 season but did not make an appearance.[5] He made his debut for United on 14 July 2011, as a substitute in their 1–0, Europa League, defeat against Śląsk Wrocław.[6] He made his SPL debut at Tynecastle Stadium in an away victory for Dundee United on 31 July 2011, playing 83 minutes.[7]
Contract negotiations between Allan, whose current deal expired at the end of the 2011–12 season, and United broke down in September 2011. It was reported that he was asking for £1,600 per week, which would have made him the third highest earner at the club.[8] Several clubs, including Rangers, Celtic and Newcastle United, expressed an interest in signing Allan.[9]
West Bromwich Albion
In December 2011, United agreed a deal with West Bromwich Albion.[10] Allan completed his move to West Bromwich Albion on 9 January 2012.[11]
Portsmouth (loan)
In February 2012, he joined Championship side Portsmouth on a 28-day youth loan.[12] His debut in English football came on 25 February for Portsmouth, when he featured in the starting lineup playing 76 minutes in scoreless draw at home to Leeds United.[13] He then extended his deal by another 28 days on Thurday 22 March 2012. [14] He scored his first goal for Portsmouth against Crystal Palace on 17 April 2012.[15]
International career
Allan has played youth football for Scotland.[16] He made his debut for the Scotland national under-21 football team on 10 August 2011, against Norway.[17]
Personal life
Allan was charged with assault on 4 November 2010 after an incident on Queen Street in Glasgow which left two men needing hospital treatment.[18] The incident also involved a number of Allan's Dundee United teammates i.e. Danny Swanson (who was knocked unconscious), Barry Douglas, David Goodwillie and former Dundee United players Matthew Flynn and John Friel as well as a passer-by.[19] The assault charges were dropped on 24 June 2011 as Crown Counsel decided there should be no further proceedings against Scott Allan on the basis of insufficient evidence.[20]
