Journalist shares update as £5m Rangers target could now “make a transfer” this summer

As journalist Dean Jones mulls over his future at his current club, Lawrence Shankland, a target for Rangers, is

“going to make a transfer” at some stage and may depart Hearts in the summer amid reports of a move to Ibrox.
