Celtic interested in Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope
Summary

Celtic is reportedly considering a move for goalkeeper Nick Pope from Newcastle United. The 34-year-old is expected to be surplus to requirements at St James’ Park, making a summer departure plausible. Celtic’s head coach Martin O'Neill confirmed that the club is seeking a new goalkeeper amid a thin market. Pope, previously an England international, could serve as a veteran option following the path of Joe Hart at Celtic. Alongside Pope, Ipswich Town is also expressing interest in the goalkeeper as Celtic looks to bolster their squad behind Vil Sinisalo.
