Maswanhise raring to go again after travel 'shambles'

Tawanda Maswanhise aims to get back among the goals for Motherwell after travel disruption derailed his momentum.

The Zimbabwe forward scored in three successive games for the Steelmen before netting his first international goal to book his country's place in next year's Africa Cup of Nations.

However, his return from international duty was delayed until last Friday and he only had time for a quick change before catching the bus to Dingwall, where he had to make do with an appearance off the bench in Well's 2-1 defeat.

Now Maswanhise aims to show his true self when Hibs visit Fir Park on Saturday.

"There were delays from connecting flights so I got back late and the gaffer spoke to me about not starting," he said.

"I only had a couple of hours and then up the road. It was literally just a change of clothes and then up the road.

"It was a bit of a shambles, but you have just got to deal with it and look forward to this weekend. Hopefully I can continue my form and last week is out the window now."

Despite the travel problems, Maswanhise is still on a high from his goal in a 1-1 draw with Kenya that elevated his status in Zimbabwe.

"It's a massive, massive, massive achievement," the former Leicester player said. "People now look up to me back home so hopefully I can do more for my nation.

"Everyone was lively. We hadn't qualified for a few years and it's a big achievement for the whole nation. We got a lot of love."
