Lawrence Shankland reckons he has a better chance of winning trophies at Hearts than he ever did at Aberdeen or Dundee United.
Shankland began his professional career at Queen's Park before joining Aberdeen in 2013. He failed to score in 17 appearances for the Dons though did impress on loan at Dunfermline and St Mirren and left for Ayr United in 2017, where he really began to blossom as a striker. There, he notched 63 in 74 for the Honest Men as clubs across the country took notice. It was Dundee United who snapped him up and he continued his rich vein of form on Tayside, earning his first Scotland cap and stating his name as one of the most promising strikers in the country.
He left United for an ill-fated stint in Belgium before Robbie Neilson brought him back to Scotland in the summer. And he has repaid the faith shown in him by the Jambos - by naming them as bigger than his two previous employers as Robbie Neilson's men aim to win silverware.
