Greg Taylor felt a familiar lurch in the pit of his stomach when his attempt at goal rattled off the bar and was chalked up as yet another Celtic chance that went begging in the Champions League. But the Hoops ace admits the real problem is being sick of the same old story at his level.
Taylor is convinced Celtic are not far off when it comes to competing with the cream of the continent. They’ve shown it in spells against Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk and last night in the second of two topsy turvy clashes with RB Leipzig. But history has repeated itself too many times now. Celtic have created a barrel load of chances but too often they’ve been snatched or scuffed, ballooned or bobbled, the wrong option picked or the final ball hurried.
In fairness to Taylor, it’s not usually his job to stick the ball in the back of the net but even his effort summed up Celtic’s struggled in front of goal that have left him feeling queasy.
