Rangers have reignited their pursuit of Hearts talisman Lawrence Shankland as the club looks to bolster its attacking options ahead of the January transfer window. The Ibrox hierarchy remain long-term admirers of the Scotland international, who has been in scintillating form for Heart of Midlothian over the past two seasons.
Reports suggest Rangers are preparing a fresh approach after failing to land the prolific striker last summer. With Shankland’s contract situation still unresolved, sources claim Hearts could be tempted to cash in rather than risk losing their captain for free at the end of the campaign.
Rangers boss Philippe Clement is believed to view Shankland as the ideal homegrown addition to strengthen the squad’s domestic firepower and bring leadership up front. However, Hearts are holding firm on their valuation, insisting the 29-year-old remains central to their European qualification push.
Fans on both sides have taken to social media to debate the potential move, with Rangers supporters urging the board to “get it done.” Whether a deal materialises remains to be seen, but one thing is certain — the Shankland transfer saga is set to dominate Scottish football headlines once again.
