Greg Taylor, born in Greenock on 5 November 1997 (age 28), is a Scottish left-back now with PAOK. He came through at Kilmarnock, where his reliability and tidy use of the ball earned him a move to Celtic in September 2019.

That move shaped his career. Taylor was rarely the flashiest player in the side, but he became a regular presence over six seasons, making 156 league appearances and scoring six league goals. His strongest attacking return came in 2022-23, when he scored three times in 31 league appearances.

At Celtic he collected four Premiership titles, three League Cups and two Scottish Cups, as well as finishing runner-up in two Scottish Cups and one Premiership. That haul says plenty about the period he was part of, though Taylor’s value was usually found in the less glamorous parts of the job: positioning, recycling possession, and keeping the left side functioning.

He left Celtic in July 2025 for PAOK, taking squad number 3. In 2026-27 he has made six appearances across competitions for the Greek club, including three in the Super League and outings in European qualifiers. His market value is around £3.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

Taylor’s career runs from Kilmarnock promise to a long, trophy-heavy Celtic spell, then on to PAOK. The Celtic years remain the substantial part of the story.
