Brian Kerr, who is currently on loan at Livingston until after Christmas has admitted to being unsure about his future at Newcastle United.

Scotland international Brian Kerr has admitted that he does not know if his future lies with Newcastle United and St James' Park.

Kerr is currently on-loan with Livingston until January 2004, and said: "My contract's up at the end of the season so my priority is to get as much first-team experience as possible, and obviously here I'll be facing the likes of Celtic and Rangers in the league and that's a test for any player.

"In an ideal world things will work out for me at Newcastle but obviously I'll have to look at the circumstances. If I've got a chance I'll be more than happy to stay as I don't really think there's a better place to play.

"The manager's wished me all the best and has said he wants me as a Newcastle United player and that's good to know.

"But with Lee Bowyer and Darren Ambrose having arrived I'm further away from the first- team than I was last season.

"There will be players disappointed every week because of the size of the squad."
