Celtic is exploring a move for Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope ahead of Thursday's Champions League registration deadline. Despite interest, financial constraints may hinder the club's ability to secure him. Pope, who has fallen behind Lukas Hornicek in Newcastle's pecking order, is regarded as a strong addition to challenge current goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo. Mark Guidi suggested a potential season-long loan deal could fit Celtic's strategy. The situation remains uncertain as Celtic assesses their options before the deadline.
