A number of Celtic fans have called for left-back Greg Taylor to be given a regular starting berth in Neil Lennon’s line-up.
The Hoops’ official Twitter profile @CelticFC shared an interview with the 22-year-old from their YouTube channel, with the Scotland international hoping to use the current training camp in Dubai as a springboard towards cementing a first-team place at Parkhead through hard graft.

Taylor arrived from Kilmarnock at the end of the summer transfer window but has since made just four starts and five appearances in total for Celtic, with his most recent outing coming against Hamilton at the start of December (as per TransferMarkt).
He has largely had to play second fiddle to another 2019 arrival in Boli Bolingoli, who has been a regular under Lennon this season with 27 starts, including each of Celtic’s last three games prior to the mid-season break.
However, in the most recent of those, he was booked in the 1-2 derby defeat to Rangers and his performance came in for a scathing review from David Walton of 67hailhail.com, who wrote that he “offered nothing positive” and “didn’t offer what we needed in at left-back”.
After seeing the interview with Taylor, these Celtic fans on Twitter feel that he should be getting more recognition by Lennon:
Better than Boli all day long

Should be getting more first team action imo. Boli found out once again. Taylor needs a chance.
