Rangers latest as Hearts offers 7 players contract for January move.

Lawrence Shankland is not one of seven Hearts players being lined up for a new contract at Tynecastle amid transfer murmurs surrounding Rangers.

According to journalist Barry Anderson and the Edinburgh Evening News, the capital team plans to extend contracts to multiple players in their roster before the end of the current campaign.

Hearts are reportedly considering the contract situations of first-team players Craig Gordon, Craig Halkett, Beni Baningime, and Alan Forrest after already tying up Liam Boyle, Lawrence Shankland’s strike partner.

Young people’s prospects Although Liam McFarlane, Ethan Drysdale, and Makenzie Kirk are also mentioned, Rangers fans will be most interested in the absence of Lawrence Shankland.

Absent Hearts Not yet, Lawrence Shankland contract negotiations
Just last week, Hearts manager Steven Naismith talked about Lawrence Shankland’s future in light of his connections to Rangers.

Declaring that talks about a new contract would happen at the “right moment,” it doesn’t seem like that time has arrived as Rangers rumours persist.

The situation involving Shankland was also brought up to Ibrox manager Philippe Clement. The Gers manager had been seen chatting with the striker during a recent match at Tynecastle.

Big Phil makes it plain that he won’t be providing reporters with any information about possible transfer interest, saying there was “nothing really special” about the encounter.

Lawrence Shankland is without a doubt one of the best strikers in the nation and one of the best players in the Scottish Premiership.

With Hearts still negotiating a new contract, it’s difficult to argue against the forward doing a job in Glasgow after he’s already scored 12 goals this season.

Rangers require more firepower.
Fans will have to wait to find out if Lawrence Shankland is the new striker that Rangers manager Philippe Clement plans to add to his squad in January.

The 28-year-old Jambos captain is frequently linked to a move to Ibrox, but there has been no firm word about any Rangers interest.

In fact, the Bluenose striker hasn’t been far from Rangers talk ever since he began finding the net frequently with Ayr United and later Dundee United.

We don’t expect that to stop when we take into account the news that Brazilian striker Danilo will miss four months of action, as well as the likelihood that Kemar Roofe won’t be given a new contract offer in the summer.

If Rangers want to make it through this season, they will need more firepower, and the headlines will not stop until Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland signs a new contract.
