Jamie McAllister insists he played little part in son Reuben McAllister’s decision to leave Bristol City and follow him to Hibernian.
Hibs secured the 16-year-old former Robins prospect earlier this summer, with academy staff at the High Performance extremely disappointed to have lost one of their prized talents.
McAllister made his Under-23 debut for the Robins last season and was on the cusp of signing a three-year contract in the West County only for Hibs to steal in and take him up to Scotland. McAllister had also changed agents shortly before the move which led to a flurry of transfer rumours in the build-up.
