Shankland transfer: Fresh Rangers and Celtic transfer claim emerges overnight.

Lawrence Shankland would irritate Hearts if he signed for Rangers or Celtic for free and began scoring goals again, according to Ryan Lowe. The Scotland international has only scored three goals this season, and the prospect of him scoring frequently for the Gers would be “an annoyance” to the Jam Tarts.

Lawrence Shankland could frustrate Hearts with Rangers move

The former Aberdeen player has had two outstanding seasons, scoring 59 goals in all competitions in Gorgie [FotMob]. This sparked enthusiasm in his signing throughout the Scottish Premiership, but it has since waned, with only three goals in 18 starts. Given that the Hearts forward will be available for free in the summer, signing him could be worth the risk for Philippe Clement’s team. With Cyriel Dessers under fire and Hamza Igamane linked with a move away, a new striker option may be required at Ibrox.
