Greg Taylor says focused Celtic will treat the Tony Macaroni exactly the same as the Bernabeu because their badge demands it. The Parkhead team will finish their Champions League campaign on Wednesday against Real Madrid. However, beforehand, Taylor and his team-mates have crucial Premiership business when they visit Livingston on Sunday.
The full-back has made it crystal clear Spain won’t even be considered until they’ve dealt with the test in West Lothian. Boss Ange Postecoglou wants Champions League -level performances constantly delivered in the Premiership and his in-form defender says there is no other way at Celtic because desire must always be the same whether the opposition is Real or Livi.
Taylor said: “The badge demands it. It is as simple as that. It does. Every game is big at a club this size and Sunday is no different because Livingston away is a difficult game. It is a game we will approach in the same way we do every game, treating our opposition with the utmost respect and aiming to put on a performance.
