Titus limps off in training

Defender Titus Bramble has recently discovered a fresh new set-back, as he limped of out of United's training session on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Glasgow Rangers have one eye on Stephen Caldwell with the defender's future still not certain at St. James' Park.

Sir Bobby Robson and probably most Newcastle fans were counting down the days for defender Bramble to be fit again, with the United defence looking very leaky indeed of late.

Bramble was ready to play a reserve match in order to prove his fitness, however that might now be a delayed event with the centre-back limping out of training this week.

Robson said,

"Titus came out of training yesterday after feeling a niggle lower down his hamstring. He was definitely going to play for the reserves but now we'll have to see how he is this morning.''

More news on young Titus as soon as we get it.

Staying on the subject of defenders, it is reported that Scottish outfit Glasgow Rangers are preparing a swoop for Newcastle's Stephen Caldwell.

The Scotsman has been involved more than he himself would have expected this season, and not looking out of place either.

However, his current contract is set to expire this summer and with no deal yet being offered to him by Newcastle and this could tempt him into a move to Ibrox.

There have also been rumours that Italian Lorenzo Amoruso could be part of the deal which would see the defender move to St. James'.
