Lawrence Shankland (born 10 August 1995) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Scottish Premiership club Hearts and the Scotland national team.
Shankland began his career at Queen's Park before moving to Aberdeen in 2013. He played on loan with Dunfermline Athletic, St Mirren and Greenock Morton before joining Ayr United in 2017. He signed for Dundee United in 2019 and made his debut for Scotland later that year. In 2021 Shankland moved to Belgian club Beerschot, but after one year in Belgium he returned to Scotland with Heart of Midlothian.
Shankland represented Scotland under-18s in Victory Shield matches against the other home nations in 2012. He was first selected for the Scotland national under-21 football team in March 2015; he made his debut away to Hungary, scoring two late goals in a 2–1 victory. He made three other under-21 appearances, also in 2015, producing one draw and two defeats.
On 1 October 2019, Scotland manager Steve Clarke called up Shankland to the senior squad for the first time. He won his first cap when he came on as a second-half substitute in the side's 4–0 defeat by Russia on 10 October (playing alongside national team captain Andy Robertson for the first time since their time at Queen's Park in the fourth tier of Scottish football, nearly seven years earlier) and three days later made his first start and scored his first goal, the fourth in a 6–0 victory over San Marino at Hampden Park.
Shankland was recalled to the squad in March 2023, as an injury replacement for Ché Adams. He scored his second international goal on 16 November 2023, a late equaliser in a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match against Georgia. Shankland had again been a late addition to the squad as an injury replacement for Adams.
