lost 3–0. After being sidelined for a week with a hamstring injury, he returned to the starting line–up against Tottenham Hotspur on 13 January 2007, playing in the right–back position, and helped the club win 3–2. However, his return was short–lived when Ramage suffered a hamstring injury in a match against West Ham United on 20 January 2007 and was substituted in the 30th minute, as Newcastle United drew 2–2. After the match, he was out for three months with a hamstring injury. It wasn't until on 5 May 2007 when he returned to the first team from injury against Blackburn Rovers and came on as a 70th-minute substitute, in a 2–0 loss. At the end of the 2006–07 season, Ramage went on to make thirty–two appearances in all competitions. Ramage only made two appearances in the 2007–08 season, both of them were substitute. However, he was hampered by injury, but also losing out to the new defensive recruits made by the then new manager Sam Allardyce. Ramage was also not to be a first choice of the next manager Kevin Keegan, who replaced Allardyce in the middle of the season.

But Ramage made his return to the starting line–up against Cardiff City on 8 November 2008 and set up a goal for Gavin Mahon to score the only goal of the game, winning 1–0. After not playing for two months, Ramage made his return to the starting line–up against Doncaster Rovers on 10 March 2009,
