Dundee United may have some bids for Lawrence Shankland to fend off next month, with Queen’s Park Rangers considering making an offer for the Tangerines’ star striker.

The London club’s director of football, Les Ferdinand, was at Tannadice for Friday night’s Dundee derby.

Other sides down south who had scouts at the 1-1 draw were Brentford, Norwich and Everton.

Rangers were also represented.
