Gordon Strachan does not think Shunsuke Nakamura would leave the Bhoys in mid-season.

Amid increasing talk of a move back to Japan for the schemer, Strachan told the Daily Record: "Knowing Shunsuke, he would not upset anyone at this club one way or another.

"He wouldn't upset his teammates, manager or coaches and I think he'd put the team before himself.

I spoke to Shunsuke on Friday and he never brought anything up."
