Whilst the contract negotiations with Celtic and Greg Taylor rumble on in the background, Chris Sutton has made clear his feelings that Taylor should be absolutely retained by the Hoops, following his Man of the Match performance against Kilmarnock on Saturday afternoon at Celtic Park…
The Scotland international has given everyone a timely reminder of his qualities in that inverted full-back role and nobody has been able to play that feature in the team anywhere near as well as Greg has these past few years.
Started under Ange Postecoglou when he took over from Neil Lennon, Taylor’s use on the ball as an extra midfielder has been a crucial element of breaking down those rigid and frugal defences in the Scottish Premiership for several seasons now.
Rodgers uses this same method at times and it’s clear that he rates Taylor very highly, as he’s made abundantly clear his wishes to keep him in the building moving forward. Even with Kieran Tierney coming back home, there’s plenty of football to be shared between the two men and games where differing styles will be required.
“I’d be chaining him to the front door until he signed a contract extension”
Sutton used his Daily Record column to air his views on the Taylor contract situation and revealed his belief that the former Killie man can be an invaluable squad member for Celtic. “One whose future remains in the balance is Greg Taylor, but if I was Celtic, I’d be chaining him to the front door until he signed a contract extension,” he said.
