The 25-year-old, who scored 18 goals last season, joined the Terrors in a £300,000 deal. He goes straight into the side for today'shome game against Motherwell.
The Celtic player, Paul Byrne, is set for a move to Watford, who have inquired about taking the 22-year-old Irishman to Vicarage Road for a week's trial. The Watford manager, Glenn Roeder, may have to pay around £250,000 if Byrne impresses.
Today, Celtic cross Glasgow to Firhill Park to face Partick Thistle, keen to rediscover their scoring touch and extend their 11-game unbeaten league run. Remarkably, Thistle's 3-1 win at Falkirk in midweek has left Celtic as the only club not to have scored three goals in any league game this season. To this end, Burns is expected to keep faith with his towering frontline of Pierre van Hooijdonk and Willie Falconer. Partick are without Roddy Grant, but have Rod McDonald available again.
The Rangers manager, Walter Smith, will welcome the return of Basile Boli and Brian Laudrup against Heart of Midlothian at Ibrox. However, Gordon Durie and David Robertson are suspended while Mark Hateley, Ally McCoist, Richard Gough and Andy Goram are out injured.
