Newcastle United striker Mark Viduka has laughed off talk of a rift between himself and manager Kevin Keegan.
The 32-year-old Australian made his first English Premier League start since January 2 at Birmingham and helped the Magpies end a four-game losing streak with a 1-1 draw.
Much of the media coverage after the game at St Andrews surrounded Obafemi Martins' reaction to being substituted, which was later played down by both the player and his manager.
But it was Viduka's stern countenance as he sat on the bench as an unused substitute during the 4-1 defeat at Aston Villa on February 9 which sparked speculation that the former Boro marksman was not happy with his lot at St James' Park.
However, like Martins, Viduka has insisted he has no problem with the 57-year-old and has re-affirmed his commitment to the cause.
He said: "It's funny when you hear stories like that - it is totally untrue.
"The manager has been very positive towards me and I just want to play for him.''
