His former coach, Steven Naismith, praised the signing, stating it cements Shankland's place alongside football icons at Hearts. Shankland had turned down previous offers, causing speculation about his future.

The signing is viewed as crucial for both the club and supporters.
"Him signing this deal puts him right in the top bracket of Hearts legends. He's up with the rest of them and that's only going to get better as he scores more goals."
"For the club and fans, it's as big as any signing that's going to come in."
"When there's a player at that age performing at that level, they are going to take their time and see what's out there."
