Lawrence Shankland picks up FOURTH prize as Hearts star named cinch Premiership Player of the Season

Lawrence Shankland has picked up his FOURTH prize of the season after being crowned cinch Premiership Player of the Season.

The Jambos hitman has been the hottest striker in Scotland after rattling 29 goals across all competitions - including 22 in the top-flight. Shankland could smash through the 30-barrier for his club in the final two league games away to St Mirren and home to Rangers.

His free-scoring form has already seen him become the first ever Hearts player to be recognised by his fellow professionals by winning the PFA Scotland Player of the Year gong - just days after he hooved up the Fans’ and Players Player of the Year awards from the club’s ceremony last month.

Now, Shankland has another personal accolade after being named the cinch Premiership Player of the Season for 2023/24.
