Latvian international Gatis Kalnins, 26, has joined Burnley on trial and will play some part in the Clarets remaining games in Scotland.

The 6ft 3ins striker, who has made 19 appearances for his country, currently plays his club football for Skonto Riga in his homeland.

Kalnins, 26, has played 136 games in Latvia, scoring 61 goals. He has also played 12 times for Skonto Riga in the UEFA Cup since joining from former club Valmiera in the 2002/03 campaign.

Burnley manager Owen Coyle confirmed: "Gatis joined up with the squad on Sunday night and we plan to have a look at him in Scotland."

Kalnins will get his first chance to impress in Burnley's second game of the Scottish tour, at Partick Thistle on Monday night (kick off 7.30pm).
