The Scotland international was the subject of an inquiry from Hearts last week and has also been linked with Kilmarnock and Rangers.

Naismith, 31, is fit but not getting a game for Norwich who he is contacted to until 2019. He has described it as “a tricky situation”.

“There have been a lot of stories linking me with two of my old clubs, Kilmarnock and Rangers. I have not spoken to either of them, but I am not ruling out any clubs at this stage,” Naismith said in his column for the BBC website.

“I have not hidden the fact that I am definitely going back to play in Scotland one day. Whether that is sooner or later, we will wait and see. But it is something I really want to do. I want to go back when I have something to give and feel I can contribute and be a big success.”
