The current bhoy turns 27 on the same day the Hoops prepare to face RB Leipzig on matchday four of the UEFA Champions League.

Birthday wishes have flooded in for Taylor, with his ex-colleague taking to Instagram to send a message.

Indeed, on his story, Juranovic, now playing for Union Berlin in the German Bundesliga, posted a snap of himself and Taylor at Lennoxtown a few years ago, hailing his fellow full-back as his ‘partner in crime’:

Coincidentally, Taylor shares a birthday with Celtic number one Kasper Schmeichel, who turned 38 today.

Both will be hoping for the perfect present against Leipzig later tonight.

The Bhoys are in fine fettle ahead of the match, and Parkhead will be bouncing.

Fans are optimistic about the clash, especially after the Celts’ impressive draw with Atalanta last time out in Europe.

Brendan Rodgers’ side put in a heroic defensive performance in Bergamo. Tonight, they will need an all-around display that combines backline solidity and attacking prowess to take anything off a side currently second in the Bundesliga.

According to forward Andre Silva, the match will be like a ‘cup final’ for Leipzig, which could play into the hosts’ hands.

Kick-off is at 8pm this evening. The action is live on TNT Sports.
