BBC Sports Rangers-linked Scotland international drops biggest hint yet about his future next season.

The future of Hearts’ talisman and Scotland striker Lawrence Shankland is a heated topic among Rangers fans.

Many believe that Rangers’ failure to sign the Scottish Premiership’s top scorer in January lost them the title. However, with Hearts wanting almost £5 million, some believe Lawrence Shankland’s form this season justifies Rangers’ concerns.
