Lawrence Shankland was the first of the Scotland strikers to have his own say in the debate over who should start in the national side’s World Cup opener against Haiti, his feet doing the talking as he underlined his own credentials with two deadly strikes in the friendly win over Curacao.
The double for Shankland, who now has six goals in 19 caps for his country, capped off a dream week for the striker, having sealed a move to boyhood heroes Rangers on Tuesday.
