Shocking News:Lawrence Shankland to Rangers moves a step closer as Hearts resigned to striker exit
Hearts now expect to lose Lawrence Shankland on a free transfer so a long-awaited move to Rangers could finally be on the cards.
The Scotland international has been linked to the Light Blues, the club he supports, for more than a year but no move has yet materialised.
Shankland’s scoring record so far this season has fallen well short of the levels over the past two seasons as Hearts have struggled as a whole.

He has netted just once with three assists in 11 appearances across all competitions, after scoring 59 in the two previous years combined, so the eagerness for other clubs to snap him up may have dipped.

But with Rangers once again regularly relying on the inconsistent Cyriel Dessers to man the number nine position alone so far this term there is surely going to be interest in a free agent pick up.
It’s possible if Shankland struggles for the full campaign, Hamza Igamane is able to establish himself, and Danilo ever gets over his injury nightmare that the wide open door to sign Shankland in the summer slams shut.
But now Hearts are seemingly resigned to his departure nearly all signs point towards the Light Blues moving to bring in a bargain after reticence over his value.
