Lawrence Shankland gets personal Rangers transfer lesson from Steven Naismith ahead of Hearts return

dailyrecord.co.uk

Steven Naismith has offered Lawrence Shankland the benefit of the transfer lessons he learned when being linked with Rangers.

The Hearts striker is back in training ahead of their Premiership clash against Dundee at Tynecastle on Tuesday. That's after he missed Saturday's Scottish Cup fourth round win over Spartans due to illness.

Speculation ran wild wild that Shankland didn't want to be cup tied amidst links to Rangers, but he's returned to Riccarton and will likely lead the line against the Dark Blues.

Naismith was at the centre of an Ibrox transfer storm during his time as a player while he was at Kilmarnock. His move to Ibrox from Rugby Park was eventually rubber stamped with one minute to go of the 2007 summer transfer window.
