Hughton: Newcastle ready to put things right

Newcastle caretaker boss Chris Hughton insists his side are ready to rise to the formidable challenge of shutting off-field problems out of their minds and winning promotion straight back to the Barclays Premier League.

Hughton leads the Magpies into their first game outside the top flight for 16 years on Saturday at West Bromwich Albion and is convinced he has a squad of players who are fully committed to the cause.
