In light of the Rangers transfer rumors, a teammate renders a decision on Lawrence Shankland.

Calem Nieuwenhof has issued a verdict on Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland amid transfer speculation with a move to Rangers.

The Scotland international missed his third penalty of the season recently but Nieuwenhof does not believe that it’s

got anything to do with his future at Tynecastle.

If Shanks was distracted, the Dutchman said, “No, I don’t think so.” “That’s just the way penalties work sometimes. Do I propose to

accept them? No, I like long-distance shots; penalties are too close! He’s alright. To be honest,

I don’t think anything will get him off spot-kicks.

He has such a powerful personality. It won’t even phase him. Even in the last two games where he missed penalties,

he managed to score.

He leads this team with great character. We are aware of his capabilities.

Even if Philippe Clement signed Fabio Silva on loan, he still needs a specialized striker, and Shankland is just the man for the job.

Signing him should be Rangers’ top priority because he might be a game-changer for their pursuit of the Scottish Premiership title.

The 28-year-old striker for Hearts appears to have turned down a new deal, giving the Gers a chance to sign him.

Shankland is an important player because of his spectacular goal scoring record. He leads the charts with 13 goals in 21 games.

His ability to score goals and his two goals in seven Scotland caps highlight his potential to improve Rangers’ offensive strengths.

The psychological boost of landing the desired striker might swing the title race in Rangers’ favor. Purchasing Shankland could be a

calculated move to fortify their position against Celtic.
