GREG TAYLOR has always had to work hard to earn his place in the Celtic first team. Regularly viewed by some supporters as an enterprising but technically limited player, he has had to fend off several challengers for his jersey since arriving at Parkhead in 2019.
Many sparring partners have came and went in the interim: Boli Bolingoli never really convinced during his stint in the starting line-up before breaking Covid protocols that essentially brought his Celtic career to a close; Diego Laxalt was brought in on loan from AC Milan and departed a year later having made very little contribution to the first-team cause; Andrew Gutman failed to make a single appearance during his year-long loan; and other young players, such as Adam Montgomery and Liam Scales, have been given a go without making the position their own.
