Taylor might not be a favourite, but we’d be losing a quality player

As of today Greg Taylor is free to speak to any interested clubs who wish to sign him as a free agent this coming summer, with Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb reportedly keen on his signature.

Contract situation is quite bizarre

I find the entire situation quite bizarre to be honest. There’s been reports that he’s been offered a new deal, and there’s been reports that he’s turned it down, but quite frankly no-one outside the negotiations has a clue what’s going on regarding his situation.

Greg isn’t exactly a fans favourite, and receives his fair share of stick which is unwarranted in my opinion, but he still remains a firm favourite of Brendan Rodgers who starts him more often than not, and the fact that he hasn’t been tied down on a new deal is a mystery.

Maybe he wasn’t offered the terms he wanted, maybe he wasn’t offered anything at all, or maybe he just wants to start afresh somewhere else. Maybe he wants assurances that he’ll be the first pick left back and maybe Celtic can’t offer that because of other plans that Brendan recently discussed with Dermot Desmond in Dublin.

Taylor has contributed massively to Celtic’s success

We don’t really know, but what we do know is that we will be losing a decent hard working player if he does indeed leave. He may have his critics, but you can’t deny that Greg has contributed massively to our success these past few years. Something that won’t be truly appreciated until he has gone.
