As Clement cautioned that the team “can’t stand still,”

Rangers are predicted to sign “the next Kris Boyd.”

According to reports, Rangers should make every effort to get a Scotland international

The club needs to move for Hearts attacker Lawrence Shankland,

according to former Ibrox star Alan Hutton,

who has also questioned why a deal could not be reached for the player during the summer?

In all competitions this season, the 28-year-old has recorded 11 goals and three assists,

and he has frequently been connected to a move to the Rangers.

Although the team did sign players like Cyriel Dessers, Danilo,

and Sam Lammers to support Michael Beale’s front line during the summer,

those acquisitions did not pan out.

Hutton is now hopeful that Clement will have a “Kris Boyd type” up top,

though it’s likely that one of those summer signings will need to be let go first.

In any league, he told Football Insider, “you can never stand still.”

If you do that with Rangers and Celtic, the other team gains the upper hand.

“I believe that a number nine is currently their most important position.

The supporters were all bringing up Lawrence Shankland.

Why did they not acquire him throughout the summer?

“I believe he’s the kind of player, a Kris Boyd, who will score goals for you;

his track record bears this out.

They must include him or someone like. Having said that,

they would need to clear someone out in order to bring someone in because they are quite heavy up top.

It would be wonderful to meet Kris Boyd again.

Gers strikers are having trouble scoring.

Rangers leads Celtic by 12 goals, although they still have a game in hand.

They have scored 30 goals in 15 league games thus far.

The main problem, though, is that Abdallah Sima, an on-loan winger,

leads the team in scoring with 11 goals this season, with Gers captain James Tavernier,

who plays full defence, coming a close second.

Danilo has six, while Lammers has only two and Dessers has five hits on target.

Therefore, acquiring a productive No. 9 might mean the difference between winning trophies and losing them,

though it’s yet unclear how much Hearts will pay for Shankland.

The forward from Scotland has netted twice in his seven matches for his nation and

has scored 186 goals in 392 senior club outings.
