Robbie Neilson reckons Lawrence Shankland should hold fire on his summer holiday plans after coming off the beach to answer Steve Clarke’s SOS.
Record Sport revealed yesterday the Hearts frontman cut short his break in the sun to join up with the Scotland squad – and he came off the bench as the national side stunned Spain to steal a march in the Euro qualifiers. Neilson was thrilled the Jambos hitman played a part in the sensational 2-0 win – and he’s convinced the commitment shown could be rewarded by Clarke for the June double header with Norway and Georgia.
The Gorgie boss said: “The guys had a few days off over the weekend. Lawrence was away and then he came back when he got the call. I was delighted for him. Firstly you saw the commitment to come back for the camp and then to get a bit of game time is brilliant for him.
