The Lawrence Shankland Premiership Golden Boot kicker that could deny Kyogo and Kevin Van Veen the glory

The title race was done a while ago, but there’s still a three-way race on to win the Scottish Premiership Golden Boot.

Celtic star Kyogo Furuhashi leads the way with 25 goals for the champions. But both Lawrence Shankland and Kevin Van Veen are hot on his heels with 24 respectively. Hearts take on Hibs on Saturday lunchtime as Celtic host Aberdeen for trophy day at Parkhead. Van Veen is in action 24 hours later as the bottom six bring the curtain down on the 2022/23 campaign. Motherwell host Dundee United, who need a miracle to avoid relegation. The Dutchman therefore, will know how many he needs to scoop the gong.

Shankland has already broken one Hearts scoring record this season, and that was also in an Edinburgh derby. He became the first marksman in maroon to bag 20 goals in a single season since John Robertson when he fired Hearts 2-0 up at Easter during their 3-0 Scottish Cup fourth round triumph back in January.
