Rangers in Advanced Talks to Sign Hearts Captain Lawrence Shankland

Rangers are reportedly in advanced negotiations to sign Hearts captain Lawrence Shankland.

The Scottish Premiership club aims to secure the striker's signature before he joins the Scotland squad for the upcoming World Cup.

Talks are progressing well, with an initial two-year contract on the table, which includes an option for an extension.

Shankland has been a key player for Hearts, finishing second in the Scottish Premiership behind Celtic.

He was a prolific scorer, netting 16 league goals during the season, highlighting his importance to the Tynecastle side.

This potential transfer could significantly bolster Rangers' attacking options as they prepare for future competitions.

The move would see Shankland leave Hearts, where he has captained the team and been a talismanic figure.
