New Toon signings, Emre and Scott Parker, look set to make their debut against Deportivo in the second leg.

Newcastle went 2-1 down in Spain, which leaves them with a good chance of going through, but they will need their strongest squad out.

 

Souness said:

 

Scott Parker and Emre will play some part in the game,"

 

“Whether or not I start them or bring them off the bench remains to be seen, but they are both ready to play and they will give us a boost.

 

"We were short on numbers last week in the first leg, but Scott and Emre come into contention and Jermaine Jenas could possibly be involved.

 

"We need as many experienced players as we can get, because Deportivo have a team packed with international players. They are all at a good age as well, in their late 20s, and have plenty of experience."
