Norwich striker Steven Naismith eyes a return to the Scotland squad but concedes he may have to leave Carrow Road to secure regular football

Steven Naismith has set his sights on returning to regular first-team football and winning his Scotland place back.

The Norwich forward has been back training for three weeks after suffering an ankle ligament injury, but admits he might have to look into leaving Carrow Road to get back playing.

The former Kilmarnock, Rangers and Everton player only made one appearance during Scotland's World Cup qualifying campaign but he wants to extend his international career beyond 45 caps after Gordon Strachan's successor as manager is appointed.

'Towards the end of that campaign I found it tough,' said Naismith, who was sponsoring a Christmas lunch for homeless people in Glasgow with charity Loaves and Fishes.
