[Q]: Hibernian warned Scott Allan once again on Tuesday night that they won’t be forced into selling him to promotion rivals Rangers despite an official transfer request from the playmaker. The Ibrox club are set to tender a third bid for the Easter Road midfielder after Allan made his ambitions clear on Tuesday afternoon. Bids worth £175,000 and £225,000 have already been rejected by the Edinburgh club. And an anticipated third bid today seems certain to suffer the same fate after Hibs chiefs responded to the 23-year-old’s request to leave with a counter statement making it clear they won’t sell to their Championship promotion rivals.Hibernian are determined not to sell Scott Allan to rivals RangersEaster Road midfielder has handed in transfer request ahead of third bidIbrox club have broken through the 30,000 barrier for season ticket salesSign-up for this season’s MailOnline Fantasy Football game

[Q]: We're not bluffing, the Obama administration told Afghanistan on Tuesday in announcing for the first time it has started planning for the possible withdrawal of all U.S. troops by the end of the year if no security agreement is signed. Statements by the White House and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel showed President Barack Obama's impatience with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai's refusal to sign the agreement that would keep several thousand American troops in the country after combat operations conclude this year.
