Rob Elliot gives Ireland reminder
A 4-1 victory over Preston on Monday night clinched the last remaining automatic promotion place for the Magpies.
The Preston game was all the more special for Elliot as he was handed his first appearance for the club in more than 13 months after suffering a cruciate ligament injury which not only robbed him of club football, but a trip to Euro 2016 with Ireland.
