At the conclusion of the January transfer window, Celtic’s primary objective was to secure a replacement for Alex Valle.
After spending half a season with the Hoops, the loanee returned to Barcelona before signing with Como in Italy, where he is under the management of Cesc Fabregas.
In the main, Jeffrey Schlupp has been a reliable piece of competition for Greg Taylor, and the Bhoys were able to secure his loan from Crystal Palace. However, Celtic are in dire need of a new left-back, as Schlupp is expected to return to London in the summer and Taylor’s contract is set to expire next month. Kieran Tierney is scheduled to arrive from Arsenal on a free transfer;
however, a backup plan is necessary in the event that Taylor decides to depart. Taylor receives a message from Sutton that the grass is not always greener. Brendan Rodgers has expressed his desire for Taylor to remain at Celtic Park and has assured him that he will receive sufficient playing time, regardless of Tierney’s return to the club.
Chris Sutton is also enthusiastic about the prospect of Tierney and Taylor collaborating at Celtic next year and continues to have faith that the latter will ink a new contract. However, the Daily Record columnist has emphasized to Taylor that the future is not always more promising in the event that the Scotland international decides to depart Glasgow for new pastures.Sutton stated,
“We are all aware that Celtic will endeavor to sign players who can be developed, and this approach has proven to be highly effective.” “However, I would prefer to see them acquire players who are slightly more advanced in their development.” “Not players who will be stars the following season; rather, players who can immediately contribute.
” Kieran Tierney is already involved, and it is reasonable to assume that he will not encounter any difficulties. I would also be delighted to see Greg Taylor on a new contract. “I am aware that it appears that he is intent on leaving, but there is still a possibility until he signs with another team.” I understand that he may not be fond of the notion of dividing responsibilities with Tierney; however, the grass is not always greener.
Rodgers’ statements regarding Celtic’s Taylor Rodgers was questioned regarding Taylor’s future following Celtic’s 5-1 victory over Kilmarnock at Parkhead in the Scottish Premiership. Taylor’s performance in that match was exceptional, and he was awarded the man of the match. However, he did not appear before the Sky Sports cameras to accept the award.
