Rangers fans react on Twitter to Lawrence Shankland reports

A number of Rangers fans have taken to Twitter to comment on that the Gers sent a scout to watch Lawrence Shankland at the weekend.

Shankland has made a fantastic start to the season following his move to Dundee United in the summer. He has scored 15 goals in 12 appearances, including five in his last two games.
