Rangers may have ‘missed the boat’ on Lawrence Shankland amid £5million Hearts transfer 

Chris Jack claims that if Hearts are looking for a £5 million fee, Lawrence Shankland “will not be

a Rangers player” and that the team may have already “missed the boat” on the striker.

On December 19, the journalist stated on the Rangers Review Morning Briefing that it wouldn’t

make sense to sign a deal for more than £2 million due to the 28-year-old’s age, but it is improbable

that the Jambos would want to part with their top player for that much money.

Jack asserts that even though the Light Blues need goal scoring assistance in January, they just

“won’t be at that particular negotiating table” if the score is higher.

Lawrence Shankland “will not be a Rangers player”

“There’s also a sense that Rangers have missed the boat on him,” Jack remarked (4 minutes,

15 seconds). Over the past few seasons, he has entered the market a few times. One of those that,

had the Rangers not made a move for him at the appropriate moment, could have happened.

“Here, everything boils down to Hearts’ requirements. Rangers should proceed if Hearts are able

to sell for £2 million. That would be fantastic.

“Unfortunately, I just don’t see it happening. Why would you sell such a valuable talent for

£2 million if you’re the Hearts? Rangers won’t be at that particular negotiation table if it

approaches £5 million.

“He won’t play for Rangers for £5 million; that’s just not happening. Fair play to Hearts if they

are able to acquire Lawrence Shankland for that amount. I wish him and them all the best.”

Hearts will never gift-wrap their captain and ship him to Ibrox, but Rangers will still probably

need to spend in January if it’s not the Scotland international. The summer transfer window has

shown that taking a chance on unproven possibilities may backfire horribly…
