Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is interesting Newcastle United.

The Mirror says Newcastle are considering a move for Rodgers if Rafa Benitez can't halt their slide.

Fears are growing behind the scenes at St James's Park following Newcastle's winless start to the season.

And Celtic boss Rodgers is set to be one name in the frame if Benitez can't inspire a turnaround.

Newcastle are second bottom of the Premier League after eight games.

They have just two points from goalless draws at Cardiff and Crystal Palace while they blew their chance to grab their first win when they squandered a 2-0 half-time lead at Manchester United and lost 3-2 following a collapse in the last 20 minutes.
