In a surprising revelation, Greg Taylor has reportedly made a U-turn regarding his Celtic future.

Yesterday, it was said the left-back had outlined his desire to complete a Parkhead exit and move to Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb to work under Fabio Cannavaro.

A fresh report from Scott McDermott in RecordSport, however, suggests that Taylor wants to stay with Celtic, at least until the end of this season.

Despite the Hoops’ pursuit of Kieran Tierney, the 27-year-old is eager to see out the campaign and work towards a domestic treble under Brendan Rodgers.

A Tierney return this month, however, could force Taylor’s hand. Zagreb’s interest is apparent, with several other English and European clubs keen to tie the Scotland internationalist down to a pre-contract.

After signing for Celtic from Kilmarnock for a mere £3m in 2019, Taylor has gone on to make over 130 appearances in green and white. He’s won nine trophies along the way, establishing himself as a regular member of the first team under both Ange Postecoglou and Rodgers.

If the latest RecordSport report is to be believed, he will stay in Glasgow until at least the end of the season as he aims to add another few domestic medals to his cabinet.

Taylor has been a fair servant to the club over the past few years, but eventually replacing him as first-choice left-back in the summer with Tierney would be an almighty upgrade.
