Flipping back to Burke for a post, loved these comments by Mark McGhee the assistant Scotland coach
“We played England at Wembley and trained at Barnet before the game,” revealed McGhee. “We were walking off the training pitch towards the changing rooms at one corner of the pitch.
“Oliver was in front of me and a ball rolled over and he was maybe five yards from the touchline and five yards from the by-line and did one of these ‘Rabonas’ with his left foot — bear in mind he’s right-footed. I couldn’t do it with my right foot! Well, the ball flew to the back post. I’d never seen anything like it.
“It was outstanding — the power and the accuracy and that’s what he has. I’ve never seen anyone quicker in all my years in the game. He now has to apply that to his game.
“He’s still raw even though he’s been in Germany. I hope the German way has rubbed off on him.”
Burke is traditionally a right winger, but Pulis says he can play on either wing and as a striker too. It’s a sentiment echoed by McGhee.
“We all feel that one of Oliver’s potential positions is through the middle,” said McGhee. “With the pace he’s got it may be that — away from home — if they can get the ball in behind for him running after it, nobody will catch him.
