LAWRENCE SHANKLAND admits that he and his Hearts team-mates should have seen out their 1-0 lead in Sunday’s Edinburgh Derby at Easter Road on an afternoon of firsts for the former Dundee United centre-forward.
The 26-year-old opened the scoring in Leith as he latched onto Barrie McKay’s inch-perfect dinked ball forward midway through the first half, retaining his composure to coolly slot the ball between the legs of the onrushing David Marshall and into the back of the Hibernian net.
