Kilmarnock striker Steven Naismith admits he'd rather stay at Rugby Park than move to an Old Firm club for a bench role.

The 20-year-old has been linked with Celtic and Rangers, with the Ibrox club having a £400,000 offer rejected.

"I don't want to go to a team where I'm not going to play every week," the SPFA Young Player of the Year said.

"It would be a step back if I was to go to a team where I would be sitting on the bench or not even involved."

Naismith scored 19 goals for the Rugby Park outfit last season and is in no rush to leave the Ayrshire club.

"I believe in my ability and, no matter what the team, if I go there, I'm thinking that I'll be able to play every week," he said.

"If I'm good enough in training, I would expect to be playing every week.

"I'm not going to sit here and say 'I want to move to Rangers' or 'I want to move to Celtic' because that's not the case.

"The move needs to be right for me and everybody around me."
