Steven Naismith says he is in discussions about his future and expects to remain involved with Scotland’s national team under the next head coach. Naismith, who has served as assistant to Steve Clarke since 2025, says he is prepared to help “in any capacity” and will continue working within the Scotland set-up regardless of who is appointed as Clarke’s successor. The comments come after Clarke stood down following Scotland’s inability to progress beyond the group stage at this summer’s World Cup, ending his seven-year spell in charge. Naismith also plays down suggested links to former West Ham and Manchester United manager David Moyes, according to one report, focusing instead on his own expectation to continue supporting the team. Across the outlets, the central point is that Naismith is expecting to stay with Scotland in a coaching role once a new head coach takes over, with his involvement subject to ongoing talks rather than a confirmed change.
