THE NO.1 NO.9

Shanks and Bojan debate is great for game - but Jambos ace is my top pick

LAWRENCE SHANKLAND or Bojan Miovski? It's a debate that's becoming more intense with every bulge of the net from Scotland's hottest frontmen.

Steven Naismith this week dubbed the Hearts skipper the best striker in the country after he hit his 50th Jambos goal in just his 79th game.

But 24 hours earlier, his opposite number at Aberdeen Neil Warnock claimed after one game in charge that the tag belongs with his No.9 Miovski.

It's a brilliant talker and so refreshing for the Scottish game because when was the last time this question was asked and neither of the top two candidates were at the Old Firm? Not in my lifetime.

But those two are streets ahead of everyone else this season and nobody can argue with that.

Kyogo Furuhashi was the main man last term but it's just not happening for the Celtic striker now.

Whereas every time Shankland or Miovski step on a pitch, against any opposition, you fancy them to score.

Back to the question though and I don't think anyone will be surprised by my answer. Shanks is No.1.

Listen, Miovski is a very good striker and anyone who can notch against the Old Firm regularly is worth their weight in gold.

Both Shankland and Miovski have done it regularly in fact both have netted twice against both Celtic and Rangers this season.
