Scott Allan (born 28 November 1991) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Rotherham United, on loan from Celtic.
Allan began his career in Scotland with Dundee United, and spent time on loan with Forfar Athletic, before joining English Premier League club West Bromwich Albion in 2012. He never broke into the first team, and after loan spells with Portsmouth (twice), Milton Keynes Dons and Birmingham City, he was released at the end of the 2013–14 season. Allan then returned to Scottish football with Hibernian. After one season with Hibs, Allan joined Celtic.
He is also a Scotland youth international, having represented his country at under-17 and under-21 level.
Allan was born in Glasgow, and was a pupil at Rosshall Academy in Crookston until 2008. He grew up as a Rangers supporter and said his idol was Paul Gascoigne.
Allan joined Dundee United at the age of 10, and signed a full-time contract in January 2008. In September 2008 he represented United against Montrose in a Forfarshire Cup tie.
Allan signed for Forfar in September 2010 on an emergency loan until 30 October 2010. He made his debut for them in a Second Division league fixture against Alloa Athletic on 2 September 2010. 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.
