Lawrence Shankland’s miserable season in front of goal continued as the Hearts striker missed a penalty during a 2-0 defeat against Cercle Brugge. The skipper squandered a chance to level the UEFA Conference League encounter in the 82nd minute when he fired the ball over the bar.

Our current inability in front of goal is shocking and at the other end our lapses in concentration are woeful. Shankland has to be dropped and the weight of the captaincy taken away.

Neil Critchley's Jambos were in Belgium but it's two defeats in a row in the Europa Conference League for the toiling Jambos
