Lafferty Will Be Huge Hit For Gers

Jun 22 2008

RANGERS have splashed out £3.25million to sign Burnley striker Kyle Lafferty and Owen Coyle has no doubt he will be a huge success.

The Northern Ireland striker was a signing priority for Walter Smith and Burnley boss Coyle knows why.

He said: "Kyle is a strong lad who can play a number of positions. He is tall but it would be wrong to label him as nothing more than a target man.

"He has a good first touch and awareness. He is only 20, still has a few raw edges but is willing to listen and learn.

"He'll do well and there's no doubt Rangers have landed a good player."
