Glenn Roeder will have an eye on the result from Belfast today, as he will see one of Newcastle's Intertoto Cup opponents fall by the wayside.

Northen Ireland's Dungannon Swifts host Icelandic side Keflavik in the second leg of their first-leg encounter. The winners play Lillestrom in round two for the right to face Newcastle.

But it will take a miraculous performance to overturn the 4-1 defeat the Ultermen suffered in Iceland. Newcastle will start the two-legged campaign on July 15/22, a win will guarantee their involvement in the qualifying rounds of next term's UEFA Cup.
