The Jambos hitman blasted over from the penalty spot as his drought in front of goal this season goes on
Craig Gordon took one look at crestfallen Lawrence Shankland on Thursday and knew there was nothing he could do or say to lift his team-mate.
The abuse that rained down from the away end after that fluffed penalty and again when the players went to applaud them at full-time was beyond brutal. Shankland admitted last week this looks likely to be his last season at Tynecastle and supporters took the opportunity to tell the skipper to go now in far more colourful language of course.
“I can tell him as much as he wants. It’s going to turn out that he’ll start scoring goals. He’s only four behind the league’s top goalscorers – the top scorers are only on five. He’s still got the rest of the season to try to be top scorer. He’s not that far behind – a hat-trick in one game and he’s right back in it.
