Greg Taylor says trophies for Celtic are more important than contract talks

Celtic full-back Greg Taylor has said that trophies are more important than contract talks. The Scotland Internationalist has just over one year remaining on his deal at the club but has revealed that he talks are yet to take place with the club over extending his deal.

As reported by Record Sport, Taylor says that he wants to focus on bringing silverware to the club before focusing on his future.

“I have one year left but there has been no talks. I have just been focused on finishing the season strongly.

“We will see what comes of it. I just want to do as well as I can for Celtic. There will always be competition and that is the focus of being a Celtic player.

“I just want to take care of these next six games and then everything else will take care of itself.”

Celtic signed Taylor from Kilmarnock in 2019 for around £3m. Despite having competition from Boli Bolingoli, Diego Laxalt, Jonny Hayes and Alexandro Bernabei, the Inverclyde-born Taylor has consistently held down a first team slot. The left-back has made 167 appearances in that time, scoring eight goals and assisting on 25 occasions.

The club will likely offer Taylor another contract and he is certainly deserving of it. Ange Postecoglou had an enormous impact upon Taylor, turning him into an inverted full-back, something that he has continued under Brendan Rodgers. With that in mind, Taylor’s best performances came under Ange when he had Carl Starfelt beside him. The offering of a deal should not impact the club’s plans to sign another left-back as cover for Taylor.
