Jackie McNamara: Nadir Ciftci "best player in Scotland"

Jackie McNamara has described Dundee United top scorer Nadir Ciftci as the "best player in Scotland".

Ciftci has scored 10 Scottish Premiership goals this season but was forced to miss the Scottish League Cup final defeat to Celtic due to suspension.

"He has everything," McNamara told BBC Sport.

"When he's on it, he's unplayable and that's something we need.

"He's a big game player. If you know him, he's a fantastic lad. For me, on his game, he's the best player in Scotland."

The 23-year-old has scored 21 goals for the club since joining in 2013.
