Rangers linked striker tips Celtic star to ‘hit form’ as race for Golden Boot heats up

As the season moves into the last third of the competition, the competition for the Scottish Premiership golden boot is intensifying.

Bojan Miovski of Aberdeen scored another goal midweek to bring his season total to 13. But, leading scorer Lawrence Shankland has identified a Celtic player who he believes could challenge both of them come May.After a season filled with goals, Shankland hopes to board a plane for Euro 2024 with Steve Clarke’s Scotland this summer. Shankland scored his 17th goal of the season and his 50th goal overall for Hearts in the 1-0 victory over St Johnstone on Wednesday. Should he win the Golden Boot in the Scottish Premiership this season,

 

Shankland believes that one Old Firm striker can still challenge him for the top spot on the scoring statistics come May, even though he will go a long way toward securing his spot in the squad for the European Championships in Germany.I had a run last season but was not successful. From where I am now this year, it is apparent that I would like to continue and succeed. [Bojan] Miovski is playing well for Aberdeen and putting goals in, so I’m thinking Kyogo will also find some success. You can’t become too engrossed in it because this league is full with talented strikers. I’ll just keep walking,” the captain of the Hearts said.

“Out on the field for Hearts, it is all I have control over. I must thus continue doing what I’m doing. You simply need to be present in the moment since there are so many games available, so all you can do is concentrate on what you’re doing at that particular moment. The striker stated, “You just have to focus on your club football and then nearer the time it comes into play because anything can happen in football between the international camps.”

This Sunday in the Scottish Cup, Hearts will play Airdrieonians. Kickoff is at 5 p.m.
