Under Philippe Clement, Rangers have excelled this season, leading the Ibrox club in every competition. Surprisingly, under the Belgian, they now have the opportunity to finish first in the Scottish Premiership table for the first time. With a three-goal victory over Aberdeen on Tuesday, February 6, the Gers will move up to the top of the table, surpassing bitter rivals Celtic. Oscar Cortes, Mohamed Diomande, and Fabio Silva all moved to Ibrox during the most recent transfer window, demonstrating Clement’s desire for more hardware. However, after being “heavily linked” to a move, Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland did not make the switch [Football Scotland, 5 February]. No Shankland winter Rangers move Hearts’ position was completely expected given that their main player has scored 21 goals this season across all competitions. Although he has remained at Tynecastle, Shankland’s announcement to Hearts that he will not be signing a new contract has dealt a severe blow to his team [The Scottish Sun, 5 February]. Rangers should be able to take advantage of this and capture the Hearts star during the summer transfer window. Shankland’s contract at Tynecastle is set to expire at the end of May 2025, according to Transfermarkt. Hearts won’t want to lose him for free when that time arrives. Will Shankland be acquired by the Rangers in the summer? As a result, the player should be sold this summer or next winter, with the former being considerably more likely because it would free up space for Hearts to sign a successor.
