Celtic’s impressive form under Brendan Rodgers continues, with key players stepping up to deliver crucial performances both in the Scottish Premiership and on the European stage. As they push for another league title, the Bhoys are also in a strong position to advance in the Champions League following a pivotal midweek result.
In a result that has garnered widespread attention, Celtic triumphed over RB Leipzig in impressive fashion, boosting their chances of remaining at Europe’s elite level for the foreseeable future.
As Celtic enjoy widespread praise for their midweek triumph, Brendan Rodgers will be eager to shift focus to their upcoming league clash with Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. Ahead of that, Scott Allan has highlighted the significant impact one of Celtic’s most consistent performers continues to have at Parkhead, while also weighing in on potential moves in the January transfer window.
Scott Allan on Greg Taylor’s ‘Outstanding’ Consistency and January Transfer Outlook
Speaking on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard, Scott Allan praised Celtic defender Greg Taylor for his “outstanding” consistency at Parkhead, despite occasional criticism. Allan emphasized Taylor’s vital contributions to the team, calling him one of Celtic’s standout performers. Looking ahead, Allan also predicted that Celtic could make some smart moves in the January transfer window, should their Champions League journey continue on its promising trajectory.
Allan continued, “Obviously, coming from Kilmarnock, Greg has made a real impact on the game. His lovely reverse pass for Hatate and his cross for Nicolas Kuhn from the byline show his quality. You can’t argue with the decisions Brendan has made to keep him involved.”
Allan added, “I think, come January, if Celtic continue to get the results they need in the Champions League over the next month or so, they’ll be in a much better position to attract a higher quality of player.”
Greg Taylor’s contract situation at Celtic is becoming increasingly important as he enters the final year of his deal. Brendan Rodgers has expressed his desire for the full-back to sign a new contract, emphasizing the importance of keeping Taylor at Celtic for the long term.
Rodgers commented, “We want him to really settle down and get everything ready for him, and I just want to continue working with him for as long as I possibly can.” Taylor, who is set to break 200 appearances for the club, has been a key figure for Celtic, contributing eight goals and 29 assists across his time at Parkhead and playing a crucial role in securing nine trophies for the team.
With Greg Taylor’s contract entering its final months, Celtic must act quickly to avoid the possibility of losing him on a free transfer in the summer. As his deal nears expiration, Taylor will soon be able to talk to other clubs, making it crucial for the club to secure his future. His consistent performances and leadership make him an invaluable asset, and ensuring his continued stay at Celtic should be a priority for Brendan Rodgers and the board. A surprise exit would be a blow, especially with Taylor approaching 200 appearances and continuing to play a key role for the team.
