Andy Walker insists Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland has the pedigree to shine as a Rangers player should he make the switch between clubs.
The Daily Record reports [30 July] that Gers boss Philippe Clement has already held talks with club chiefs over making a move for the prolific ace.
Shankland has also been touted as a target for Celtic, but the Light Blues are said to be in pole position to complete a deal [HITC, 30 July].
Speaking on Go Radio [30 July], Walker said: “If Lawrence Shankland was a Celtic player, he would score goals.
“Everyone talks about what Shankland can’t do – and maybe that cost [Scotland] a bit in the Euros, where he deserved a bit more game time.
“But give him a heavier strip and I think he will meet the challenge. Whether it’s Celtic or Rangers, I think he has a pedigree that tells you he will score goals in the top flight of Scottish football.”
Lawrence Shankland is the striker Rangers need
Moving for Shankland really is a no-brainer. Links with unknown players from abroad will always pique the interest of supporters, but the Hearts skipper is tried and tested in the Scottish Premiership.
With a year to run on his contract, and therefore leverage for the Gers to negotiate a favourable fee, this is a deal the club need to pursue as a priority.

Celtic are also interested, which is no surprise, and that only makes it all the more important that Rangers get a deal over the line first.
Rangers Cyriel Dessers
Cyriel Dessers could yet leave Rangers this summer.
Cyriel Dessers had a mixed first campaign at Ibrox and Clement would love a player who can tuck away chances more efficiently. That is where Shankland comes into the equation.
As Walker says, Shankland’s reputation may have taken a slight hit during Scotland’s disappointing Euro 2024 campaign, but we know for a fact he can score goals for fun in this division. It is over to the board to get him in.
In other Rangers news, another Ibrox striker target missed a match for his team because a new bid is incoming for him.
