Lawrence Shankland labels Hearts debut campaign 'really strong' as he talks captaincy and goals

Lawrence Shankland has hailed his debut campaign at Hearts as 'really strong' as he opened up on being made captain.

The Jambos stand-in skipper had a stunning season in front of goal for his club side hitting 28 goals in all competitions. That included two strikes in the Europa Conference League group stage against RFS and one in Europa League qualifying versus FC Zurich.

Shankland's contribution on the goal front helped Steven Naismith's men finish fourth in the Scottish Premiership and secure another crack at Europe. They won't have the luxury of the guaranteed football on the big stage until Christmas as they look to navigate two rounds of qualifying this summer to reach the main competition once again in UEFA's third tier tournament.
