Captain and head star Garts Lawrence Shankland is preparing for drastic changes in his career. The 30-year-old Scottish striker was tied up in a difficult time with a move to Ibrox, close to completing the move to the warehouse of direct rivals Rangers.

It looks like Denny Roll will be the first signing of the new season. Why did Shankland allow Harts to sit in another place at the Scottish Premier League, sacrificing the championship title to Celtic for the rest of the tour?.

For Harts head coach Derek McInnes, the captain's departure will be a serious loss. Once McInnes left the team, saving Shankland was his priority. At the end of the 2024-25 season, between the club and the representatives of Gravity Vinikla, there was a superechka for the salary, but then the coach decided to hire a forward, who scored 20 goals this season, regardless of injury.

Now the leader’s spending on cash looks even more painful through the financial warehouse. According to Gerel, Rangers have activated the clause, the loss of such a player for obviously small pennies will be viewed negatively by fans from Tynecastle.

Lawrence has ample evidence of performances both in the Batkivshchyna (for Aberdeen, Dundee United, Ayr United and others), and beyond the border (Belgian Beerschot). Since moving to Harts in 2022, his performance has been the same: 88 goals in 171 appearances for the Tynecastle team. 236 goals in 494 matches on the club level throughout his career. The title of the most prolific scorer of Harts from the hours of the legendary John Robertson.

Just a fact: Shankland has amazing statistics in matches against his upcoming club. He scored an offensive goal in a successful game against Rangers (2:0) at Veresna, bringing victories to the team and also regularly appeared at the gates of the team from Ibrox during 2023-2024..

Despite all the vicissitudes, Shankland's respect is concentrated on the international stage. He is one of the five attackers, such as Steve Clarke, who called to the Scotland team warehouse for the final part of the World Cup. The team's ticket to the tournament was significantly secured by Lawrence's goal at the Danish goal in leaf fall.
