Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kei te mārama tonu te riri ki a Steven Naismith nā te whara i ngaro ai ia i te putanga whakamutunga o te UEFA Cup me Rangers i roto i te mea e rite ana ki tētahi atu āhuatanga, kaua rawa e whitu tau ki muri. Engari kua whakaaturia e te whetū o Scotland ko te mahara ki taua wāhanga pouri e akiaki ana ia ki te eke ki te whakataetae Europa League o tēnei tau ki a Everton. Ko nga tangata a Roberto Martinez e manaaki ana i a Dynamo Kiev i tenei po i Goodison Park i te wahanga tuatahi o to raatau 16 o nga tau whakamutunga, a ko nga kaitohutohu e tumanako ana kia haere whakamua ki tetahi o nga taha o raro o te whakataetae. Kei te whakamarie a Steven Naismith i a Kevin Thompson i muri i te hinganga o Rangers i te whakamutunga o te UEFA Cup 2008. Kua whakatau a Naismith ki te whakatika i taua hinganga, me te ngaro i te whiringa toa, me Everton i tenei wa. Ko ngā māngai whakamutunga o Ingarangi i te whakataetae, he nui te mahi ki a rātau ki te haere i te huarahi katoa, me te ahua o Wolfsburg, Napoli, Roma me Zenit kei te whakataetae tonu. Engari e whakapono ana a Naismith kei a ratou nga mea e tika ana hei wero i te honore tuarua o te karapu i muri i te Cup Winners Cup i whakawhiwhia e toru tekau tau ki muri - a kua rite ratou ki te haere i tetahi taahiraa pai ake i nga Rangers i te tau 2008 i te wa i ngaro ai ratou ki a Zenit St Petersburg i Manchester. I tana pakanga tuatahi i Ibrox i muri i tana wehenga mai i Kilmarnock, i puta a Naismith hei kaitautoko i te tukinga 1-1 nui i Panathinaikos i wikitoria ai a Walter Smith. Ko ia ano tetahi o nga whakakapi i Werder Bremen me nga huihuinga e rua me Sporting Lisbon i te mea kei te haere tonu nga Kaikorero. Engari e wha nga ra i mua o te hawhe whakamutunga tuatahi me Fiorentina, i whara ia i te whara o te turi i te whiringa toa whakamutunga o te Scottish Cup me St Johnstone. Ko Naismith, me tana kaiwhakahaere o taua wa a Walter Smith, e haere ana i mua o te tohu i te tau 2008. Ko te kaiwhawhai o Everton (matau rawa) e whakangungu ana me ona hoa kapa i mua i to raatau whakataetae ki a Dinamo kiev. I mutu ai te whai a Naismith mo te kororia o Ūropi. He kaimātakitaki ia i te whiringa toa, ā, kāore anō ia kia tākaro whakataetae mō ētahi atu marama e iwa. I tākaro au i Kariki i taua wā, ā, i runga i te paepae...
I ngaro a Steven Naismith i te whiringa toa 2008 o te UEFA Cup i a ia e kaitākaro ana i te Rangers. E hiahia ana te kaikawe ki te wikitoria i te whakataetae ki a Everton ki te whakatika. Ka whawhai a Everton ki a Dinamo Kiev i te Rāhoroi i roto i te whakataetae 16 whakamutunga.
