Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers and Celtic are reportedly interested in Lawrence Shankland.
Lawrence Shankland is a player in demand, with Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers and Neil Lennon’s Celtic among the clubs reported to be interested in the striker.
In demand
According to The Glasgow Evening Times, Rangers and Celtic are interested in signing Shankland from Dundee United.
The report has also claimed that Queens Park Rangers in the Championship in England are looking at the 24-year-old.
In form
The Scotland international is one of of the best strikers in the lower leagues in Scotland, and has scored 22 goals and provided three assists in the Scottish Championship so far this season, as stated on BBC Sport.
The striker was in action for United in their Scottish Cup fourth-round tie against Hibernian at home on Sunday.
Shankland scored yet again – in first-half injury time – and, according to The Scottish Sun, Celtic scout Tosh McKinlay was at the game to watch him in action.
Future
United manager Robbie Neilson has told The Scottish Sun that he wants Shankland to stay at the club.
Neilson told The Scottish Sun about Shankland: “I hope Lawrence will still be here next month and I think so. This game is not going to help us from that side of it.
“But I’ve said for a long time that getting promoted is more valuable to us than selling one of our key players.”
Impressed
Celtic and Rangers fans were impressed with the display produced by Shankland on Sunday, and have urged their respective clubs to sign him.
