Shankland’s heart campaign after losing pal at 22

Scotland striker Lawrence Shankland has shared painful memories of a childhood friend who died suddenly from a heart condition.

Before he left with the national team for the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany, he visited a mural in Glasgow dedicated to Chris Murray.

Chris, from Glasgow, died aged 22 after collapsing at work having had a sudden cardiac arrest.

The lifelong Rangers fan had been diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at age three, which can be an inherited heart condition.

He is the subject of one of two giant murals in Scotland painted to highlight the tragedy of sudden cardiac death in young people.
