The Scotland international has been regularly touted as a target for the Light Blues in recent weeks ahead of the January transfer window, which opens on January 1.
But on Wednesday (27 December), Shankland put in a confident performance to secure Hearts’ victory in the Edinburgh derby and add thousands more to his price tag.

” 4 Lawrence Shankland scores in the 93rd minute as Hearts Hibs lose 1:0 in the Edinburgh derby!
Sky Sports Scotland (@ScotlandSky) December 2023 27th View Tweet 93 A few minutes into the game at Easter Road, Shankland controlled a loose ball on the edge of the penalty area, took it into the goal with his left foot and curled a shot into the top left corner.
This season he made 19 appearances and scored a goal in the Scottish Premiership.
If he continues this way, he could significantly surpass last season’s record of 24 goals in 37 games.
According to expert Chris Boyd, there’s no better player to round out the division than the 28-year-old – not even Celtic’s Kyōgo Furuhashi.

“I talked about Kyogo in this league from the perspective of different types of strikers.
Kyogo couldn’t end like this.
(Shankland’s) finishing was unbelievable, the best in the league for me.
” No complaints about that, given that Shankland leads the Scottish Premiership scoring charts.
Probably not.
Rangers Rangers could use another striker, especially if Cyriel Dessers is lined up for the African Cup of Nations, Danilo is unavailable and Shankland ticks all the boxes.
Agreeing on a contract fee with Hearts is a completely different matter, but if selling other players frees up money, the Gers have no choice but to go down that path.
As Boyd says, he is truly an “incredible” talent and could be the difference between Rangers finishing first or second this season.
In other Rangers news, Joshua Barry shared that he heard about another attacking player being moved in January.
