While he has made only seven appearances this season for Everton - and hasn’t played at all since the end of January - Patterson is making a push for Scotland's World Cup squad,
He said, "Yeah, 100 per cent. The main thing for me is just to make sure I’m at the World Cup, so whatever gets me there, I will do that.
"It’s obviously nice to come away and I will try to get as many minutes as I can here and put on some good performances.
"Obviously you want to play as much as you can, but it’s not really up to me, I can only do what I can do in the pitch. I’m just delighted to be back with the squad and I’m looking forward to the games ahead.
"I feel really good. I’ve come back in and played a few games for Everton and I feel really fit. I don’t feel as if I’m at a stage where I’m doubting my body at the minute, so I’m happy with where I am."
