Shankland 'disrespect' slammed as Robbo takes issue with Celtic way dismissal

John Robertson has accused Pat Bonner of being 'disrespectful' to Lawrence Shankland by claiming he wouldn't fit into the 'Celtic way' of playing.

“The thing about Lawrence Shankland is that he will score goals, no doubt about that, for a team that’s performing here in the league. He will get chances to score. But when it goes into the higher level in the Champions League, when sometimes you are under the cosh, you might get one or two chances. But you have to work very, very hard up front. Close people down and all of that.

However, Tynecastle legend Robertson was having none of it. The man who has scored more league goals for the Jambos than anyone else hit back at Bonner with a list of Shankland achievements and reckons he'd score goals for any team in any league. “Might he not be suited for European football? He’s scored goals for Hearts in European football. Yes, in a lesser tournament you could say, but he's still scored. He’s scored a goal for Scotland in Georgia away and he’s going to feature prominently in the European championships.
