Brendan Rodgers Offers Greg Taylor Contract Latest

Celtic fans are holding their breath over the future of Greg Taylor, whose contract is set to expire next summer.

Despite his crucial role and consistent performances, there has been a notable silence regarding a contract extension, leading to concerns that the club might lose a key player for free.

Brendan Rodgers has openly expressed his admiration for Taylor, emphasising the left-back’s technical abilities and physicality, which have made him indispensable to the team. Initially joining from Kilmarnock in 2019, it was viewed as quite an underwhelming signing; Taylor has defied expectations, seamlessly stepping into the void left by Kieran Tierney.

His performances might not always make the headlines, but his value becomes evident in the solidity and balance he brings to the side.

Rodgers remains hopeful that an agreement can be reached soon, stressing the importance of securing Taylor’s future at the club.

“No, not yet,” Rodgers told Celtic TV.

“I hope we can get something organised and done on that because he’s a fantastic player for us. He makes that position work how we want it to look, and he’s first class.

“He knows we want him to stay and hopefully, between his reps and the club, we can organise that.

“He is a player that I really rate and I’ve seen him grow from the outside looking in. I really like everything about Greg, his personality and I love his spirit.

“I love how he plays the Game and he plays like a midfielder coming from that outside position into the pitch.

“He makes it difficult for the opposition and he is technically strong for a player who is small in stature.

“He comPetes in his duels and wins headers and does a lot of good things in the Game which I like and appreciate.

“I really hope that we can tie him down. In this period, that would be a real priority for us to get something sorted.”

As talks seem to be on the horizon, Celtic fans will be eager to see one of their most reliable players commit his future to the club, avoiding the risk of losing him without a transfer fee next summer.

But, if they do, they will need to enter the market for a left-back – something the club has had to do in nearly every transfer window since KT left.
