FORMER Scotland international Kevin Gallacher believes Owen Coyle is the man to revive Burnley.

Gallacher is friends with Coyle and he believes the former Bolton striker can repeat the success he has enjoyed north of the border with St Johnstone at Turf Moor.

"I was with Owen three days ago (playing in a Masters tournament) and he never mentioned the Burnley job," said ex-Blackburn striker Gallacher.

"He's done a good job in Scotland with St Johnstone and I'm sure he can do something similar at Burnley."
