Naismith to stay at home

Kilmarnock forward Steven Naismith says he is not ready for a move to England just yet, as both Celtic and Rangers chase his signature this summer.
The 20-year-old Scotland international spent a week training with Arsenal during the season just ended, but accepts that the time is not yet right for him to try his luck south of the border.
He said: "It was the first bit of serious transfer talk around me and it was just a hectic week.
"It got on top of me but I learned to deal with it and I showed in the last six months of the season what I'm capable of.
"It has nothing to do with not wanting to play in England just now.
"I'm not going to say I wouldn't ever like to play in England, it's just that I don't think I'm ready just now and I don't have as much experience as I would like going down there.
"That's the only reason."
