RANGERS target Scott Allan has been the subject of vile online abuse after he handed in a transfer request at Easter Road.

Hibernian have turned down two offers from the Gers for the highly-rated midfielder and again reiterated their desire to keep the player at the club last night.

But Allan was labelled ‘Judas’ as his Twitter account was bombarded with abusive messages in the hours after Hibs confirmed he had expressed his desire to leave the capital.

Many of the sick posts referred to the 22-year-old’s diabetes.

Several of the tweets were deleted shortly after posting.
