Lawrence Shankland scoops Hearts awards as Zander Clark recognised at Player of the Year bash

Lawrence Shankland was the big winner as he scooped the two main awards at Hearts' Player of the Year awards.

The stand-in skipper - who has taken on the armband since Craig Gordon's s eason-ending injury at Christmas time - was voted the Players' Player of the Year and the Fans' Player of the Year in a debut campaign to remember at Tynecastle. He also landed a special Memorable Moment prize for equalling John Robertson's goal scoring record.

The Scotland international has been a revelation since making the move to the Gorgie side. Former boss Robbie Neilson was desperate to land the striker he worked with at Dundee United and eventually got his man in the summer and his goal record has been nothing short of sensational. He netted a hat-trick in the thumping weekend win over Ross County to take his league tally to 21 goals and overall number to 25 for the campaign to date.
