The journalist who broke the story about Hearts giving Lawrence Shankland a new deal says he’d be

“very surprised” if Rangers met the Jambos’ asking price.

which appears to be between £3 million and £4 million, as set by Hearts.

While the writer adds “never say never,” it doesn’t sound like the Rangers’ desire in

Lawrence Shankland will be realized this month.
