Coyle lauds Clarets youngster

MacDonald, 18, took the armband for the first time in the international friendly against France in Clairefontaine.He responded with an outstanding display, scoring twice in the 3-2 defeat for Billy Stark's side.And Coyle beamed: "I know from speaking to Billy (Stark) exactly what Scotland thinks of him. They love Alex, and we are in the same boat."To be captain of your country is something special, and to respond by scoring two goals against France is a tremendous achievement."It's a source of great pride for us as a club and I am delighted because everyone knows my policy on youth and seeing Alex progress augurs well for the future of Burnley Football Club."
