Greg Taylor, born in Scotland on the frosty morning of 5th November 1997, is currently in his stride as a defender for Celtic, primarily holding down the fort as a Left Back. Standing at a modest height of 5 foot 8 inches (1.73m) and weighing in at 9st 12lb (63kg), Taylor dons the number 3 jersey on the pitch. In addition to domestic duties, Taylor has also pledged his boots to Scotland's national squad.
During the 2023-24 season, Taylor was a crucial cog in the Celtic machine. He whisked on his boots for 35 Premiership matches, marking the back of the net with three balls. His duty to Celtic extended to six starts in the Champions League, four in the Scottish Cup, and two in the Euro Qualifiers.
Prior to hoisting Celtic's colours, Taylor refined his skills at Kilmarnock. He made the switch to the Premiership in Scotland club in July 2015 and proved his worth in the following seasons. In the 2015-16 season, Taylor earned one appearance in Kilmarnock's first team. In the following seasons, Taylor left impressions on the pitch with 34, 38, and 36 appearances respectively. He also inked his first goal during the 2018-19 season. His last season at Kilmarnock, 2019-20, saw him making two appearances before packing his boots for Celtic.
At Celtic, Taylor has remained a consistent feature on the pitch. His inaugural season in 2019-20 decorated him with 12 first-team appearances. Growth was witnessed in the following seasons - making 26 appearances in 2020-21, 24 in 2021-22, and hitting a high of 31 in 2022-23 while scoring three goals. The 2023-24 season took him up another notch, bringing another 35 appearances and an equal number of goals as the previous year. Currently, Taylor is all set to lace up his boots to defend Celtic's honour in the 2024-25 season.
