Bruce was seen amongst the crowd at the Riverside on Wednesday night monitoring the progress of the 20-year-old Slovan Bratislava striker in the Euro 2004 qualifier, which England won 2-1.

Vittek, regarded as one of the brightest prospects in Europe, was on trial at St. Andrews twice during last winter, but after signing six players during the last transfer window, Vittek returned to Slovakia with Bruce promising to keep tabs on the player.
