Middlesbrough fullback Tony McMahon says tomorrow night's derby against Newcastle United is the biggest game of his career.

"If selected, it will be the biggest game I have ever played in," said McMahon.

"We've got three games to save our season - and I believe we can do it."

The defender also told mfc.co.uk: "There's been pressure for a long time now. We're not in the position we want to be in and we need to get out of it as soon as possible.

"It's going to be an amazing atmosphere on Monday night. The fans will be in for a treat and I'm delighted we've sold out."
