Boro the next chapter in Viduka saga

MIDDLESBROUGH fans will get their first chance to see new signings Mark Viduka and Michael Reiziger in action on home turf when they take on Spanish side Real Mallorca in a pre-season friendly.

Boro will face the Primera Liga side at the Riverside Stadium on Wednesday, August 4, their only home fixture in the run-up to the new campaign.

Steve McClaren's side travel to Germany for a friendly against Hansa Rostock on Saturday July 31, and hope to arrange another away game against foreign opposition for Saturday, August 7, a week before their Premiership opener at home to Newcastle.
