Shankland looks a shoo-in for the Euro 2024 squad and Tony Asghar is buzzing to see him realise his potential.
Tony Asghar has backed Lawrence Shankland to play a starring role for Scotland at Euro 2024 and has warned that his best is still to come.
Shankland is looking to impress in the friendlies against Holland and Northern Ireland as he looks to catch Clarke’s eye to make sure he cements his place in the national squad for Germany this summer. Asghar said: “There is no doubt Scotland have a very strong squad. I think Lawrence actually offers something different to what they already have. He can lead the line or even play in the No. 10 role.
Asghar knows playing for Scotland is a massive thing for Shankland. It was part of his thinking when he left Ayr United for Tannadice in 2019. The former United sporting director explained: “He was coming to United because we were pushing for promotion to the Premiership and he was working with top staff, like Robbie Neilson, Gordon Forrest and Lee McCulloch, who eventually would go on and take him to Hearts.
