Greg Taylor has silenced his Celtic critics by showing his full capabilities under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, according to Packie Bonner.
The left-back arrived from Kilmarnock in 2019 and some of his displays in his first two seasons at Parkhead brought criticism. But his development under boss Postecoglou has now been clear for all to see and his swashbuckling performances at left-back have him as a credible early contender for Celtic Player of the Year.
Former Hoops goalkeeper Bonner has been wowed by the Scotland international and when asked on Sportsound who he thinks has blossomed the most with the Champions League experience the club have had this season, his answer was clear. He explained: (It's) Greg Taylor. He is the guy for me who is a young Scottish man who joined Celtic, for decent money at the time. He was getting a lot of stick from the fans.

"I couldn't understand it. He was young, learning. Maybe it's because he came from another Scottish club and in the eyes of some, he maybe wasn't up to it. But he has blossomed.
"His ability on the ball, his ability to get forward and ability to get back into positions. I thought he might have been a bit weak when he came in at the backpost with his heights.
"But he jumps well. I think he has made the biggest improvement of all the players I have seen so far."
