Revitalised Ireland out to impress

STEPHEN IRELAND has vowed not to let anybody down as he prepares to make his debut for Newcastle this weekend.

Midfielder Ireland has shaken off the knee injury he arrived with at St James’ Park after joining the Magpies on loan until the end of the season from Aston Villa a month ago.

With Joey Barton struggling with a thigh injury and Ryan Taylor suspended for three games after his dismissal in Saturday’s draw with Bolton, the Corkman could make his United bow at home to Everton on Saturday.
