FURIOUS Hibs fans have rounded on want-away Scott Allan after the talented midfielder slapped in a transfer request to join Rangers .

An avalanche of abuse flooded social media minutes after Hibs bosses confirmed the 23-year-old had officially asked for a move.

It comes after the Easter Road side knocked back two bids from Allan's boyhood heroes Rangers FC .

Other sick 'fans' blasted Allan, who was voted Championship Player of the Year, calling for him to "die" and wishing deadly illnesses on his family.

One by @H0wGoodItWas said: "Hope Scott Allans whole family get cholera, malaria, typhoid, aids, herpes, anthrax, swine flu, leprosy and kidney failure."

Another said: "I hope Scott Allan's diabetes gets worse."

One tweet simply said: "Stab Scott Allan."

Many abusive tweets were deleted within hours of being posted after red-faced fans were shamed into removing them.
