Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish is full of praise for in-form Everton striker Steven Naismith.
He feels Naismith's early season form is indicative of a healthier Scottish game compared to five years ago.
Dalglish said: "Naismith's had a great start to the season. He's got his chance after an injury to Ross Barkley and he's taken it well. There's a few Scots doing well in the English Premier League at the moment, like James McArthur and Robert Snodgrass.
"There's better players coming through to the Scotland national team than there have been in the past five years and their performance in Germany was encouraging."
