ACE MOVE: Rangers Frontrunners to Land Top Celtic target as sources reveal deal is Close to be sealed.
Recent reports suggest Celtic might be considering Lawrence Shankland as an alternative to Norwich City’s Adam Idah, potentially challenging Rangers’ pursuit of the striker.
Despite this, Rangers are still considered favorites to acquire Shankland, who impressively scored 31 goals in the previous season.
Shankland’s contract with Hearts is set to expire next year, and it’s believed he’s seeking a new opportunity.
Rangers would be unwise to miss this chance to sign Shankland. His remarkable tally of 31 goals last season, along with a total of 59 goals over two seasons at Hearts, demonstrates his quality as a striker. At his peak and born in Glasgow, Shankland seems poised for a significant career move.
Celtic’s interest in Shankland has intensified as they struggle to permanently secure Idah from Norwich. This development adds urgency to Rangers’ pursuit.
Given Celtic’s growing interest, Rangers need to act swiftly. Allowing Shankland to join their main title rivals could be detrimental, especially considering his record of six goals against Celtic in just ten matches.
Failing to sign Shankland could not only strengthen their biggest competitor but potentially widen the gap between the two clubs. It’s crucial for Rangers to finalize the deal and bring Shankland to Ibrox.
In other news, another Rangers striker target was absent from his team’s recent match, possibly due to an incoming transfer bid.
