FROM the first day he arrived at Celtic Park, Greg Taylor has been driven to prove he belongs there. As a relatively unheralded youngster signed from Kilmarnock, he went into every training session and every game knowing that he was fighting for his place at the club, let alone his place in the team.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Taylor’s star may have risen exponentially since the arrival of Ange Postecoglou as manager, but that didn’t stop Celtic shelling out £3.75m on another left-back in the summer.
The emergence of Alexandro Bernabei in recent weeks as a viable alternative to Taylor may have been seen from the outside as a reminder to him that, as impressive as he has been of late, his place in the team is never secure. As his consistently outstanding form this term would suggest though, he probably didn’t need one.
