Rangers Transfer Targets Assessed as Lawrence Shankland Deal Finalised

Shankland will undergo a medical before joining Rangers on an initial two-year deal, giving Danny Rohl his first summer signing.

  • On Sunday, Record Sport revealed Rangers triggered a release clause to sign Lawrence Shankland from Hearts on a free transfer, with the 30-year-old's medical scheduled for Tuesday before completing his initial two-year deal with a 12-month option.
  • A break clause in Shankland's three-year Hearts contract signed last summer enabled him to walk away this month, coming days after Celtic pipped Rangers' Old Firm rivals to the Premiership title on the final day.
  • Shankland scored 20 goals in 34 appearances this season and has netted 88 goals in 171 appearances since joining from Belgian outfit Beerschot in 2022, establishing him as Scotland manager Steve Clarke's in-form striker for the World Cup.
  • After completing his medical on Tuesday, Shankland will join Clarke's World Cup squad, becoming Danny Rohl's first summer signing while former Rangers captain Colin Hendry said he should wear the armband.
  • Rangers strengthened significantly after their title challenge faded, while Hearts must replace departing goalkeeper Craig Gordon and defender Frankie Kent, with head coach Danny Rohl targeting additional Scottish talent including Dundee's Luke Graham.
