# Glasgow Rangers: Andy Halliday urges Gers to make move for Lawrence Shankland

**Ex-Glasgow Rangers man and cult hero Andy Halliday has urged the Ibrox outfit to sign Dundee United striker Lawrence Shankland.**

The 24-year-old was in stunning form in the Scottish Championship last term, scoring [24](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lawrence-shankland/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/225744) goals in 26 games as his side earned promotion to the top flight – that was no flash in the pan either, with him having scored 128 times in 253 games across his career. He has been [linked](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5115081/qpr-transfer-dundee-united-lawrence-shankland/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1577679624) with a move to Glasgow, but as of yet there appears to have been no formal approach from the Gers.

Halliday, who [left](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11788/11991219/rangers-andy-halliday-jon-flanagan-and-wes-foderingham-among-six-players-leaving-club#:~:text=Rangers%20have%20confirmed%20the%20summer,under%20Mark%20Warburton%20in%202015.) the club on a free transfer following the premature end to the Scottish campaign, believes Steven Gerrard should look to add him to his squad. He [told Open Goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW7I1EAVARc):

> *“I would \[take him at Rangers\]. He’s done it wherever he’s been and he looks like the type of boy that, if he gets chances, he’s going to score. If you’re at a bigger club you’re going to get more chances.*
>
> *“He’s just got the knack for scoring goals and that’s something that’s hard to find.”*

There could well be a changing of the guard up-front at Ibrox this coming campaign as the future of Alfredo Morelos remains up in the air – Everton are [said to be focused](https://www.areanapoli.it/calciomercato/napoli-offerto-soteldo-everton-apre-alla-premier-ma-rifiuta-il-west-bromwich-sondaggio-newcastle_378133.html) on taking him to Goodison Park, whilst it has previously been reported that the Gers [expect to lose](https://www.footballinsider247.com/ibrox-sources-big-update-on-rangers-striker-pursuit-keeping-morelos/) their star man this summer.

Currently valued at [£428,000](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lawrence-shankland/marktwertverlauf/spieler/225744) by Transfermarkt, it remains to be seen what kind of transfer fee he would demand if the Gers were to make a move, but it would likely be an awful lot less than the £15m the Gers want for Morelos – that would make Shankland a bargain.
