Rangers manager Derek McInnes says captain Lawrence Shankland will have a major impact at the club, describing him as “brilliant.” McInnes’s comments focus on Shankland’s influence regardless of whether he starts matches.
Across outlets, McInnes also frames Shankland as a player who is likely to keep producing goals, adding that he is “too good not to score regularly.” The coverage is consistent in portraying the message as confidence in Shankland’s leadership and output, rather than tying it to any specific selection decision or tactical change.
While the reporting varies only slightly in wording, the shared emphasis is that Shankland’s role is expected to be significant both on the pitch and in the team environment. Sources present McInnes’s stance as supportive and anticipatory ahead of ongoing matches for Rangers.
