Burnley could halt Matej Vydra move to Rangers 'unless replacement found'

Burnley could pull the plug on Matej Vydra's move to Rangers if they are unable to find a replacement striker.

The Evening Times reported on Friday morning that a loan deal for the 27-year-old to the Ibrox club was all but completed.

Burnley will have until 11pm to find themselves a replacement with the English transfer window closing one hour before the Scottish window shuts.
