Rangers tipped to be 'keeping an eye' on Hearts' Lawrence Shankland as Ibrox hero lauds hitman

Barry Ferguson is certain Rangers will be keeping a close eye on Lawrence Shankland after his stunning Hearts goal return to date.

Robbie Neilson made a big push to sign the Scotland international this summer and he's been rewarded and more with 18 goals in all competitions at this stage of the season - including 15 Premiership strikes. The hitman has also been handed the captaincy at the capital club until the summer following Craig Gordon's horror double leg-break.

Alfredo Morelos is out of contract in the summer at Rangers and one who could move on, leaving just Antonio Colak and Kemar Roofe at Michael Beale's disposal. Ferguson is a big fan of the latter but his injury history is a concern for the Ibrox legend who believes another striker would be needed. He reckons the Light Blues don't need to look further than Edinburgh with Ferguson waxing lyrical about the hitman.
