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.
The left-back will have just 12 months remaining on his current Celtic deal at the start of next season but well-placed sources have told Football Insider that he is expected to pen fresh terms to extend his stay at Parkhead.
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.
Rodgers’ side are expected to be very active in the summer transfer window, with Football Insider revealing (9 March) that the manager is pushing the board for a “complete overhaul” of his squad at Parkhead.
Celtic sit three points clear at the top of the league and most recently advanced to the final of the Scottish Cup after their victory against Aberdeen on Saturday (20 April).
They are next in action back in the league away against Dundee on Sunday afternoon (28 April).
