Lawrence Shankland Hearts captaincy wasn't wanted by 'some people' as Tynecastle doubters sent a message
The Hearts striker is vying for a spot at Euro 2024.
Lee McCulloch claims some people didn't want Hearts to name Lawrence Shankland as captain - but he believes the talisman has proven his leadership credentials.
The striker has netted an impressive 55 goals in maroon since former boss Robbie Neilson and his assistant made a 2022 move for him following a spell in Belgium at Beerschot. Following a serious leg injury to goalkeeper Craig Gordon, Shankland has been entrusted by Neilson and now current head coach Steven Naismith to lead as captain.
