    Good luck to the guy, did his best for us and will move on with the approval and respect from the majority of us, a hard working player.

    Taylor has been a good servant for us, but I also think he has been on a downward trajectory with us since the Cup Final game, with both the management and fans.

    I still can't get over how he shockingly passed the ball twice in succession to Ranger's players in very dangerous positions, one of which they scored from.

    Dinamo Zagreb have pulled out all the stops and remain confident of landing Greg Taylor at the end of his Celtic contract.

    The Scottish international is set to become a free agent in the summer. He is yet to put pen-to-paper on a deal for next season, despite growing interest.


    Brendan Rodgers has already lined up Kieran Tierney for next season and has confirmed Taylor is now unlikely to re-sign.


    Rodgers was keen to keep Taylor that has now faded as he now has more lucrative offers, where the current Croatian champions are near the top of the tree.

    Zagreb are third in the table but will look to try and cut Hajduk Split’s five point lead over the final games. They tried to land Taylor in January but couldn’t prise him out of Celtic.


    Sources in Croatia have confirmed that the 27-year-old still is very much a top target for coach Fabio Cannavaro and they have tabled a significant increase on his current Celtic deal.

    Taylor is keen for a fresh challenge and to move outside Scotland for the first time. He also has options in Major League Soccer and they haven’t been dismissed yet, for family reasons .



    Taylor is keen to finish off the season with Celtic, as they push for a treble before the end of the campaign, before he commits to his next destination.

    The full-back has already won four titles, three Scottish Cup and three League Cups since he joined from Kilmarnock in 2019.

    If we had a player in every position who puts as much effort as Taylor that would be a good thing. If we had a player with the talent of Taylor in every position we’d be *. Good luck to the guy but not good enough for us.

    Agree with the first sentence. Second is wild given we've needed his talent to win leagues and cups. He has definitely been the difference in key games and key seasons.

    * hate disparaging those that make the difference. It's seldom the most talented players that win leagues, it's those around them. Taylor 100% was good enough for us.

    Enjoy your prawn sandwich @TheHappyLoss :38:

    Enjoyed the majority of his contributions,then however despaired at other performances.
    He always seemed targetted in Europe.
    Good luck to the guy.

    Deserves a good send off. Effort could never be questioned. Always right in amongst the celebrations. Never my favourite player but put in some telling contributions. His part in the press that led to the second goal against Leipzig this season was class

    Don’t mean literally, missed in the sense he was clearly one of the leaders of the group, a good player and comes across as one of the most well liked in the team

    Good luck to him, he wants to play first team football and that makes sense to me. I think he'd still get plenty of game time but I understand being hesitant. Zagreb have won the last 7 leagues (although possibly not this season) and regulars in Europe. Been part of a squad that's won 2 Trebles (didn't get a LC medal for 19-20 though), 2 Doubles and about to win either a double or a treble. No bitterness in him leaving. If you don't like him, not really his fault he's been better than all the other left backs brought in since he came in.

    No ill will towards him. He's done us a turn and wish him all the best.

    Done a great job for us, never hid and leaves us with a bag of medals. Just time to upgrade and move on.
