Steven Naismith is relaxed about his Hearts contract talks as he believes he will probably'' play at Tynecastle next season.

The 32-year-old is expected to sign on with Hearts when his Norwich contract expires after spending 18 months on loan with Craig Levein's team, but contract talks have gone on for several months.

Naismith, who is working his way back from knee surgery, said: As I've got older I am pretty relaxed about it. I have enjoyed it so much there. It looks probably where I'll be playing, but a lot of the things within a contract just take time. Hearts are going to look after themselves when they are investing in someone my age, and I'm going to look after myself.

''The process is what it is, you need to just go through it. I'm sure it will get concluded at some point. That's the intention. Until it's signed, you are not going to turn around and say it's definitely happening.''
