NEW Burnley striker Steven Fletcher felt right at home at his first training session following his £3million move from Hibs
He is sharing a dressing-room with international team-mate Graham Alexander as well as fellow Scots Steven Caldwell, Steven Thompson and Kevin McDonald.

With manager Owen Coyle hailing from Glasgow, Burnley are as close to a home from home as Fletcher could find in the Barclays Premier League. Fletcher said: "I know a lot of the players and that helps. I am looking forward to working with them. I have been made to feel very welcome."

Burnley open their first top-flight campaign in 33 years at Stoke on August 15, quickly followed by a home midweek fixture against Manchester United.

Fletcher quipped: "That's exciting and a bit different than going to St Johnstone."

The striker is also hoping the move to Turf Moor and the Premier League will boost his chances of a regular starting slot for Scotland.

Yes good luck to Fletcher. I hope he does well.

Hopefully he'll not be slagging off Scottish football.
His jolly "Quip" came perilously close.

Should football fans be prevented from going to away games?
No it’s only a small minority who are violent and you’ll never stop it.
Yes, the hooliganism must be stamped out.
Maybe but really the police need more resources to tackle the thugs
