The big Czech striker hit his second goal in as many games as the Turf Moor club comfortably ran out 3-0 winners at home to struggling Bournemouth.

The big striker took it down on his chest before knocking it past a defender and hitting it high into the Saints net.

Rangers were linked with a move for Vydra [Glasgow Times] on deadline day of the January transfer window.

The Czech international striker was being primed as a replacement for Jermain Defoe.

The veteran Rangers forward has picked up a calf injury which means he will be ruled up for four-six weeks.
