Greg Taylor, born on 5 November 1997, is a football player originating from Scotland. Now aged 27, he is recognised as a fine defender who mainly plays in the position of a left back for Celtic Football Club. His physique is moderate, standing 5ft 8in tall (1.73m) and weighing 9st 12lb (63kg). Within the team, he typically adorns the number 3 jersey and, in addition to his club contributions, he has also played for Scotland on the international stage.
According to Transfermarkt, Taylor's market value is estimated around £5.5m. His contract with Celtic has less than half a year remaining, with the end date set on 30 June 2025.
The pathway to his career at Celtic began in July 2015 when Taylor joined Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership. During the initial season of 2015-2016, he only made a single league appearance. But with the passing of seasons, Taylor's presence increased with 34 appearances in 2016-2017, 38 in 2017-2018, and 36 in 2018-2019 when he also scored one goal. In the 2019-2020 season, however, he only made two appearances.
In September 2019, Taylor departed Kilmarnock and transferred to Celtic, with the fee remaining undisclosed. He started his journey at Celtic mildly with only 12 appearances made during the 2019-2020 season. That figure doubled for the next season, and Taylor has made consistent appearances since; tallying up to 24 in 2021-2022, 31 in 2022-2023 with three goals, and 35 in 2023-2024 again with three goals. In the current season of 2024-2025, he has already made 24 appearances.
Taylor's involvement has not been limited to league matches. He took part in the Champions League 2023-2024 for Celtic with six starts. Moving onto the 2024-2025 season, Taylor appeared in League Cups for Celtic, even scoring a goal over the course of two starts and two substitution appearances. On top of that, he started once in the Scottish Cup 2024-2025. Internationally, he was part of Euro Qualifiers 2022-2024 for Scotland, starting twice. Taylor also had eight starts in the Champions League 2024-2025 for Celtic. A stalwart for the team, his valued presence on the field is undeniable.
