Rangers star sends two-word message to John McGinn as Steven

Rangers star sends two-word message to John McGinn as Steven Gerrard makes Aston Villa mark – Birmingham Live

as lopsided as the final score indicates.

Indeed, in the last 20 minutes, the Netherlands really let loose, scoring goals two, three, and four in the closing

moments. However, up until that point, it was a very equal match between two countries getting ready for the

approaching European Championships.

The coach of the Oranje, Koeman, acknowledges that the result in Amsterdam flattered the hosts. Conversely, Steve

Does Clarke choose Che Adams’s gait and pace of work? The skills of Lyndon Dykes as a target man? Or Lawrence

Shankland’s unadulterated talent to score goals?

It was the latter who got the nod in the Dutch capital. And while the reported Rangers target’s performance will be

remembered for that miss – clipping the bar when the goal was at his mercy – Scotland team-mate John McGinn

insists that a very uncharacteristic error should not distract from what was an ‘outstanding’

centre-forward’s display up against perhaps the finest defender on planet earth.

Shanks was excellent, in McGinn’s opinion, the Daily Record is told. “Playing against one of the best defenders in the

world, Virgil Van Dijk of Liverpool, is not an easy task.”

However, he was incredibly strong; he held it up, laid it off, and effectively connected the play. He was a useful

outfield player for us, and I believe he’ll be content.

With his contract at Hearts ending and new terms unlikely to be agreed upon, Shankland has been linked to Rangers,

Celtic, and several other clubs south of the border on a regular basis. He has scored 27 goals in another successful

season at the club level.

For Scotland, though, that number is a pitiful two. The star player for Aston Villa, McGinn, is adamant that

Shankland is more than just a goal scorer, citing his back-to-goal ability as equally valuable for a national squad that

might give up possession to elite opponents.

“When you’re a player like Shanks, the goals will come,” McGinn continues. And we’re pleased with his performance.

The opportunities come and go, and the following one will be behind the scenes.

Hearts may lose Shankland this summer for as little as £3 million,

as his contract expires in 2025, according to sources.
