Ryan Fraser ready to fight for his place with Newcastle United and Scotland

Ryan Fraser says he is just trying to help Newcastle United whatever way he can after being limited to just 34 minutes of action so far this season.

The Scotland international recovered from a back injury to play his part against Wolves at Molineux. Fraser could come back into contention if Allan Saint-Maximin is ruled out with a hamstring problem picked up at the end of the game on Sunday.

Fraser said: "Before this (Wolves) I played around six minutes so it was nice to get out there again and help the team the best I could. It was a good result for the lads in the end.

"Football is football but I just try to enjoy it and work hard then will see what will be. The lads are plugging on and now we have a big game on Wednesday."

Newcastle remain unbeaten and could have won it against Wolves had they not been denied by the woodwork and saw a Fabian Schar free-kick go wide. When asked if it was a good point Fraser offered up his opinion.

Fraser said: "Yeah I think so, I don't see why not. "Obviously the first half was a little bit more in favour of them. They did well and we probably didn't stick to our game plan as much as we should have.

"Then second half we pinned them back a bit more. "They are obviously going to hit us on the counter attack but I think we deserved it."

Fraser is also prepared to work hard and win his place back. Speaking about getting back into the team, Fraser said: "We'll see. I am just enjoying it and like I say I'd rather we just win games than look at things from a personal point of view. When I get back in the team I will try my best."

The is also keen to get back into the Scotland set-up. Speaking about the prospect of a call-up for two UEFA Nations League games against Ukraine and a home match with the Republic of Ireland, the former Aberdeen and AFC Bournemouth said: "Yeah I don't see why not. Obviously, that's three weeks away the next game.

"I don't know if I am in his (Steve Clarke) thoughts. We will see, I probably need to start playing a little bit more. Obviously, the other boys are doing well for their clubs. Do I deserve to be picked on form? Probably not."

"Other boys are playing and doing well and should be ahead of me. If I am honest about it, if I do well in the next two weeks hopefully that can change.

"I want to go and play for Scotland and want to score goals. A couple of years ago I done really well for them so we will see."
