Lawrence Shankland finally ended his goal drought with a 96th-minute header as Hearts drew 1-1 with County. Although the Tynecastle club remain bottom of the table, caretaker boss Liam Fox hopes this signals a turning point for both Shankland and the team.
Liam Fox hopes Lawrence Shankland ’s 96th minute equaliser can spark Hearts ’ season to life - and signal lift-off for their goal-starved skipper.
But caretaker boss Fox hopes it signals a turning point for the captain and the side. He said: “Nobody doubts Lawrence’s ability. He’s been on a difficult run but good strikers keep going and he got his reward for that. Ask any striker, they love scoring goals and if they don’t they can get down on themselves.
“On the run we’ve had, it would have been easy to go into their shells but Lawrence came up with the goods at the end. When you play here you know the demand and we’re asking players to take more risks. “I only have the job for a few weeks and today is hopefully a step. Hopefully the way we came back today can be the start of that.”
