‘Why would they sell him?’ Hearts player confident Lawrence Shankland will remain at Tynecastle this month
By the end of the month, Andy Halliday, the recently announced Motherwell loan player, thinks Lawrence Shankland will still be wearing maroon.
While appearing on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard, the 32-year-old, who has been benched from the Hearts first squad recently, discussed the future of
his former teammate and admitted he was “90 percent” certain the striker would stay at Tynecastle past January.
Halliday recently started working for the Well on a temporary basis; this summer, he will become a permanent employee. His career began at
Livingston, and he later competed in the English Championship. After winning trophies with Rangers, the defender returned north of the border
and played for the team for almost 150 games before moving west in 2020.

Shankland, 28, has been constantly linked with moves away from Gorgie this month, with likely destinations being Rangers and
more recently
their fierce rivals Celtic as he has just 18 months left on his current contract. Both the Glaswegian sides have also publicised that they are on the
lookout to improve their forward options.
While Hearts have insisted they have little intention of selling their star striker, offering him a new and improved deal, Shankland is yet to put any
pen to paper putting clubs on high alert as to his availability. However, 32-year-old left-back Halliday is almost entirely sure the Jambos frontman
will still be donning the Hearts jersey come February.
Speaking on Clyde 1, the ex-Ibrox star said: “What did Stuart say, 100 percent? I’ll say I’m 90 percent sure he’ll be a Hearts player by the end of the
window.”
He was then asked by Gordon Duncan is this was insider knowledge, to which he replied: “No, not at all. Why would Hearts sell him? Hears can
guarantee somewhere between £6-8 million if they finish third. They’re obviously in a pretty position.
