Scott Allan (born 28 November 1991) is a Scottish footballer who plays for English Premier League side 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]

Career

Club career

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]

Allan signed for Forfar in September 2010 on an emergency loan until 30 October 2010.[3] He made his debut for them in a Second Division league fixture against Alloa on 2 September 2010.[4] 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.[5]

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.[6] He made his debut for United on 14 July 2011, as a substitute in their 1–0, Europa League, defeat against Śląsk Wrocław.[7] He made his SPL debut at Tynecastle Stadium in an away victory for Dundee United on 31 July 2011, playing 83 minutes.

Contract negotiations between Allan, whose current deal expires 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, Newcastle United and St Johnstone expressed an interest in signing Allan.[9] 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]

International career

Allan has played youth football for Scotland.[12] He made his debut for the Scotland national under-21 football team on 10 August 2011, against Norway.[13]

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.[14] 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.[15] 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.[16]
