Greg Taylor, born in Greenock on 5 November 1997 (age 28), is a Scotland left-back whose career is shaped overwhelmingly by his six years at Celtic. He joined from Kilmarnock in September 2019 and became a familiar, dependable part of the side rather than a passing squad name.

Across six seasons at Celtic, Taylor made 156 league appearances and scored six league goals. His most productive league campaign came in 2022-2023, when he scored three times in 31 appearances. He was never the most glamorous player in the team, but his value was usually found in the less showy parts of the job: positioning, concentration, and understanding what Celtic needed from the role.

In July 2025, Taylor left Celtic for PAOK. He has since featured regularly enough in Greece, making 12 Super League appearances in 2025-2026, along with appearances in Europa League qualifying and the Europa League proper. Across all competitions for PAOK, he has made 15 appearances without scoring.

His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Taylor’s career has taken him from Kilmarnock to a long, substantial Celtic spell and then on to PAOK, but the core of his senior football remains the years he spent at left-back in Glasgow.

Greg Taylor has been used as a clear first-choice left back for PAOK in the Super League, starting all 12 of his league appearances. He has not scored, but the absence of yellow or red cards points to a controlled, low-risk profile. With three additional European appearances across qualifying and the Europa League, the numbers suggest a regular defensive role rather than an attacking one.

Greg Taylor’s career path runs from Kilmarnock to Celtic and now PAOK, with three senior clubs listed and a move abroad at 28. The profile shows his most productive scoring seasons came in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, when he recorded three goals in each campaign, but his wider value has been built around reliability at left back rather than end product.

Greg Taylor joined Celtic from Kilmarnock for an undisclosed fee in 2019, then left for PAOK on a free transfer in July 2025. The move to Celtic was the clear step up in domestic level, while the PAOK switch looks more like a contract-cycle move into another European league than a fee-driven transfer.
