Hibs have today hit out at the mindless abuse sent to want-away midfielder Scott Allan on twitter.
The 23-year-old was sent several horrible, abusive tweet's last night, after it was revealed that he had handed in a transfer request, in an attempt to force through a move to Rangers.
Now Hibs have hit back and revealed that they have involved Police Scotland.
A statement on the official club website reads:
Hibernian FC today asked Hibernian supporters to ensure they are respectful when commenting on any Club matters on Twitter or any other form of social media.
This follows unacceptable Tweets posted following the news that our player, Scott Allan, had handed in a transfer request.
The Club have been in contact with Police Scotland regarding the recent Tweets and will support any subsequent police investigation.
