Burnley boss Owen Coyle admits he is excited about the prospect of unleashing Martin Paterson on the Championship this season.Paterson opened his account for the Clarets with a superb strike in Saturday's 1-1 friendly draw against Queen of the South.

It was his first goal since joining Burnley from Scunthorpe in a summer transfer worth over £1million.

Coyle said: "Martin has been working ever so hard and I told him if he continued that work rate the goals would come, and so it proved.

"We are very excited about how he will play for us."
