Kyogo and Lawrence Shankland in European Golden Shoe race as Celtic and Hearts stars join Erling Haaland and co

Kyogo and Lawrence Shankland are among the contenders for the European Golden Boot - but have some work to do to catch runaway leader Erling Haaland.

The Celtic and Hearts stars are out in front at the top of the Premiership scoring charts with Kyogo firing 17 while Shankland stands just behind on 16 having returned to Scotland with a bang in the summer. Unless the likes of Antonio Colak or Bojan Miovski have stunning second halves of the season, it looks like one of that pair will be going home with the golden boot come May.

Their goalscoring exploits however have also put them in some star-studded company on the European stage. Every year, one player is awarded the European Golden Shoe - won six times by Lionel Messi and once by Henrik Larsson while at Parkhead. Any player in the top division of a UEFA nation can win it but it is not straightforward for a player outside of the elite leagues.
