Gray was praised by Rangers boss Gary Waddock
"Andy Gray is a goalscorer of Premiership quality, who sticks the ball in the back of the net.
"He's been there and seen it and done it and today he had an opportunity and took it - that's Premiership quality.''
On the performance Waddock continued
"I was disappointed with the result but pleased with the attitude of the players."
Burnley boss Steve Cotterill was delighted with the win.
“It was a good result for us on a bumpy pitch and very windy conditions. We know how the wind can spoil any game and it was difficult for both sets of lads today and they both worked hard. You could say we're both not going down or going up, but we both tried to put on a decent game.
“We had to be patient really and sometimes you have to wait, but when you are the home team you have got to make the play, try to pass the ball and be the best team and score goals.”
