Greg Taylor, born in Greenock on 5 November 1997 (age 28), is a Scottish left-back now with PAOK. His senior career began at Kilmarnock, where he built the platform for the move that shaped everything that followed: Celtic signed him in September 2019.

At Celtic, Taylor became a durable and trusted part of the side rather than a headline act, which was probably how he preferred it. Over six seasons he made 156 league appearances and scored six league goals, with his most productive campaign coming in 2022-23, when he scored three times in 31 league games.

His Celtic spell brought four Premiership titles, three League Cups and two Scottish Cups. There were also runners-up finishes in two Scottish Cups and one Premiership, but the larger point is plain enough: Taylor spent his peak years in a side that kept winning, and he played a serious part in it.

He left Celtic in July 2025 for PAOK, where he wears number 3 and remains primarily a left-back. In 2026-27 he has made one league appearance, along with outings in the Super League, Europa League qualifiers, Conference League qualifiers and Europa League, taking him to six appearances for PAOK across all competitions. His form has been solid, though he has been out of the matchday squad recently, with his last appearance coming in Anderlecht 3-2 PAOK on 13 August 2026.

His current market value is around £3.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Taylor’s career is still active, but its main body is clear: Kilmarnock gave him his start, Celtic made him a long-serving winner, and PAOK became the next step after six substantial years in Glasgow.
