He&#8217;s been subject to a ruthless campaign to join the new club at Ibrox, even though he has turned them down before, and was seen as their great white hope. Dave king, the convicted fraudster and liar said that his club would &#8220;overinvest &#8221; in players, but clearly that overinvestment doesn&#8217;t run to anything more than a quarter of a million pounds, and he&#8217;s been surprisingly unavailable for comment on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>The press are running with the line that Hibs wouldn&#8217;t sell to a rival, but the fact of the matter is that the Edinburgh club have stood up to the old establishment ways, because the Ibrox club is now a busted flush, and no longer carrries any weight in footballing circles, as Scottish football has realised they can actually do without them.<\/p>\n<p>Have a look at this;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/CMWa1ANWcAAXAMn.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/CMWa2A5WcAAweXD.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Just to clarify, it&#8217;s Scott Allan Johnstone is referring to, and not Scott Brown.

He doesn&#8217;t want to leave Scotland, having failed to settle at West Brom, which is in itself understandable.
