    The hate grows stronger every week for him, not that I want to hate a player bit it just can't be helped.

    He was wildly out of position for the second goal. Got caught out trying to play in the middle of the pitch.

    Watch it back.

    Bernabei or Frame surely have to be given a run at this point?

    Its deja vu with Taylor this season. Awful every game but never gets dropped. I'm completely exhausted with it.

    Same old story. That one where AJ saved us was ridiculous from him and Palma.

    He was but the goal is on Phillips.

    Anyone saying he’s been awful every game is talking out their * though. Awful today but so was most of the team.

    He's just very average. Crying out for a replacement.

    He is * woeful. The amount of times he give it away with a pish pass is incredible. Weak as *, gets caught out of position regularly. Struggles to even take a throw in, although that team in general are clueless with them cause nobody moves. Get him replaced in January.

    He still inverts at times (not sure if this is intentional or not?), but the reality is as a defender he's diabolical. Genuinely would struggle to get a game for most teams in the SPFL.

    His defensive frailties were masked under Ange for 2 years. But we knew he was poor before then and now he's just reverted back to type under the new regime.

    What's even more baffling is that he's probably played the most minutes out of anyone this season. Why does Rodgers not give anyone else a chance? Bernabei is * mince too but I'd take anyone over Taylor now. Give Frame a * a go. You know, develop the younger talent at the club. That is an option believe it or not.

    I'm sick to death of Celtic managers not giving youth prospects chances. Especially when the alternative is a guy who is horrifically out of his depth. Scales has been one of our best players this year and let's not forget he was about to be punted in the Summer. Are the coaches absolutely clueless or what?

    Verging on hating him now.

    So many times when we were on a promising counter today, the ball would fall to him and he would miss-hit the * easiest of passes.

    I think he's been really poor for months.

    It's evident that teams target that side of the pitch. Quite rightly.

    See if you are a left full back anywhere on Celtics books and over 16 and you are not better than what Taylor is producing the now just call it a day as you will never make it.

    That is how absolutely diabolical he has been this season. Livi away is the only game I recall a decent performance.

    I would go as far to say he should be punted let alone dropped. Every team we play targets him. He’s not alone but he sticks out so much as a liability, useless in attack and a shocking 1v1 defender. Slow and weak.

    Can we send him back to Killie, then target him so we get a win there?

    Do we not have any left backs in the youths that could make the step up?

    Was never a fan of Taylor but to be fair to him he really came on in Ange’s system. Now he has gone back to the * pre Ange.

    Needs to be Scales LB from now on until we get a replacement and get Nawrocki in the team beside CCV.

    I've been calling for this since Nawrocki returned.

    He’s had a few good performances this season for us. But playing constantly hasn’t helped him in the slightest. Nor has having zero real competition. Killie had joy coming down our right side as well today.
