STEVEN NAISMITH set his sights yesterday 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.
