Rangers most likely or less likely Hearts. Both very hard clubs to play for if you don’t have the correct mentality. Definitely not Celtic, they’re in an entirely different street when it comes to shopping. Agreed that Sunderland are the English ‘sleeping giant’, some scouting network Jack Ross has established.

Not sure he actually scored that many for Livi. Think Halkett was joint top scorer with him. Edit - Just checked and although he was joint top with Halkett he only played 16 goals so pretty decent return.

Almost certainly the biggest club in Tier 3, JR failed to get them promoted despite being allowed to sign 16 players including McGeouch, Ozturk and McLaughlin. He needs to have a good start to the next campaign or he'll be looking for a new job before Christmas. The Mackem support will become very restless.

MaskedMarauder Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Shankland to Sunderland pretty much a done deal. Huge money on offer for him there as he pretty much confirmed to me when spoken to last week on holiday. Should also add he’s a staunch Rangers man so Hibs not an interesting option for him at all ?
