Rangers are actively working to complete a transfer deal for Hearts captain and Scotland forward Lawrence Shankland.

The Glasgow club wants to finalize the agreement before the 30-year-old joins the national team for the upcoming World Cup.

According to reports, Rangers are pushing to secure the striker as quickly as possible.

The Daily Record indicates a deal could be completed by the start of next week.

The urgency stems from Shankland's international commitments.

The Edinburgh Evening News notes that the accelerated timeline is due to the player's upcoming call-up with the Scotland squad.

Managerial Changes at Celtic

Meanwhile, interim manager Martin O'Neill expects to meet with Celtic's major shareholder Dermot Desmond regarding the vacant managerial position.

O'Neill recently led the team to Premiership and Scottish Cup victories.

O'Neill also provided an update on defender Kieran Tierney, who was substituted during the cup final.

The interim manager confirmed the Scotland international "is fine" after coming off in the Scottish Cup final win over Dunfermline Athletic.

In that match, Dunfermline forward Josh Cooper scored a late consolation goal. He described the moment as "just the start" after netting in the 3-1 defeat.
