Shankland to Rangers, O'Neill's Celtic call & Hearts rebuild. Is Shankland transfer to Rangers the key to a Scottish Premiership title win? Tam McManus thinks Lawrence Shankland is a great bit of business for Rangers. Martin O'Neill remains the favourite to get the Celtic job with all the panel. Is there anyone capable outside the top three of challenging for the title? Tam McManus, Alan Rough and Peter Martin break down the biggest story of the week — Lawrence Shankland set to sign for Rangers on a free. "31 on a free to Rangers is a no-brainer. He's a difference maker. I think he gets you another 20-25 goals." — Tam McManus Plus the panel cover Celtic's double, Martin O'Neill's future, Arsenal lifting the Premier League, West Ham relegated, and Scott McTominay featured on a £20 note. ▶ Lawrence Shankland to Rangers — Tam McManus's deep dive on why "31 on a free is a no-brainer," whether Rangers missed the boat by not signing him a year ago, and what the deal means for Hearts (who could lose Shankland, Devlin AND Braga in one summer) ▶ Shankland vs Chris Boyd — Tam McManus drops the controversial verdict: "Shankland is a better all-round footballer than Chris Boyd."
