# Some Rangers fans are questioning the praise of Hibernian’s Scott Allan

“Amazing it really is” – A lot of Gers fans are confused by the media’s praise of Scott Allan – after he provided the assist for Hibernian’s only goal in their [6-1 thrashing](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/49314816) at Ibrox.

Allan threaded a [delightful through ball](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/49314816) to Daryl Horgan – who [prodded the ball](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/49314816) beyond Allan McGregor in the Rangers goal.

The 27-year-old showed [superb vision](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/scott-allans-incredible-hibs-rangers-16742900) and ability to split Rangers’ defence in half. Steven Gerrard even admitted he would have [been proud](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/scott-allans-incredible-hibs-rangers-16742900) of the pass that Allan provided.

A lot of Rangers fans, though, were quick to point out that his pass had no impact on the final result – as the [Gers swatted](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/49314816) Hibs aside.

See the best of the reaction below.

Many Gers fans are annoyed at the media for focusing on [one pass](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/scott-allans-incredible-hibs-rangers-16742900) rather than Allan’s all-round display – which in their opinion was average.

> Key moment 6. Was Horgan onside? Not clear from any replays so far.

While other Rangers fans want to know if [Horgan was offside](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/49314816) – but no angle is shown of the Irishman, so no one knows if the goal should have counted.

Finally, some Gers fans want to know when the DVD is coming out to commemorate Allan’s pass!
