The Scottish international, currently playing for Belgian side Royal Antwerp, has reportedly agreed to a long-term deal, marking a significant boost to Rangers’ attacking options. Shankland, 28, has been in exceptional form in Belgium and was a key figure in Antwerp’s recent successes, showcasing his goal-scoring abilities and leadership qualities.
Rangers had been linked with Shankland for several months, and negotiations have now reached a successful conclusion, with both the player and club eager to finalize the transfer. Shankland’s arrival is expected to provide much-needed firepower to Michael Beale’s squad, offering an experienced and proven striker capable of making an immediate impact in Scottish football.
Shankland’s move to Ibrox also strengthens Rangers’ Scottish core, adding to a growing list of homegrown talents within the squad. Fans will be hoping the prolific forward can replicate his impressive performances at Antwerp in the Scottish Premiership, contributing to the club’s pursuit of domestic titles and European glory.
The January signing is viewed as a key piece in Rangers’ long-term plans, signaling the club’s ambition to continue challenging for top honors in both Scotland and Europe.
