DEAL DONE: Celtic set for a new contract with 26-yr-old star

Celtic plan to hold new contract talks with Greg Taylor, sources have told Football Insider.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the Hoops will sit down with Taylor, 26, this summer to discuss a contract extension.

It is believed that there is a willingness from both the club and the player to get a deal done.

Celtic and Taylor both keen on contract extension

The Scotland international moved to the Glasgow giants on a four-year deal in 2019 from Kilmarnock as Kieran Tierney’s replacement.

After establishing himself as a key member of the Celtic starting line-up, he penned a new deal in November 2021 to extend his stay to 2025.

He remains a vital part of Brendan Rodgers’ side having started every game he has been available for in all competitions this season.

Across 167 appearances in all competitions for the Hoops, Taylor has bagged eight goals and provided 25 assists.
