On Tuesday night, when Philippe Clement speaks to a group of Rangers supporters at Edmiston House, he will probably be questioned about Lawrence Shankland.
The prolific Hearts forward, who has scored 59 goals in the previous two seasons, including appearances for Scotland at Euro 2024, has long been linked to a move to Ibrox.
Clement has never formally said if he was ever genuinely interested in acquiring Shankland, who has been wanted by certain Gers supporters who don’t think Cyriel Dessers is a good enough goalkeeper despite Shankland scoring 22 goals the previous season and five in six this year.
With the Belgian’s campaign off to a slow start, the Tuesday event comes at a bad moment for him. The Daily Record [10 September] outlined the event’s concept, saying Shankland “could make all the difference when it comes to finishing first or second”.
Clement may have a hard evening as supporters want clarification before the season completely departs from their team.
