Caldwell Rethinks future


By Matthew Jones

Scotland defender Stephen Caldwell who has played in 17 games for Newcastle this season, including a Champions League victory over Bayer Leverkusen is hoping that his international career will lure potential buying into bidding for him.

He was offered a new deal at Newcastle as a result, but has left it unsigned to allow him to keep his options open.

He said: "I'm not certain where I will be playing my football next season.

"It is still hanging in the balance but the only thing I am thinking about for the next three weeks is Scotland."

Caldwell has already been linked with Rangers and added: "I would be pleased to listen to offers from anybody.

"Playing for Scotland puts you in the shop window and lets people see you."

Caldwell may still go back to Tyneside...

He said: "It may be not entirely what I want but I'm not ruling out going back to Newcastle.

"Sometimes you have to gamble and sadly that's the way things are in football now."
