Steven Naismith reckons it'll be years before people truly understand the magnitude of Lawrence Shankland’s 30-goal haul. And the Hearts boss his stunning strike in Paisley to reach the milestone was amongst his very best.
Naismith said: “I think it’s one of his best. That’s what makes him different. He is calm in the box and instinctive, and he understands what’s going on.
He doesn’t rush or snatch at the ball. It’s a brilliant finish. It’s incredible. I don’t think people will really understand it for a few years until it has been and gone. “Hearts did a lot to get him here and then put their faith in him.
He has been a brilliant pro, a good leader, and his goal record over the two seasons here is unbelievable. He’s now getting recognition with the awards and the international scene.
