Sport nationBrendan Rodgers Opens Up on Greg Taylor Contract Dilemma
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has addressed the uncertain future of left-back Greg Taylor, whose contract expires in July.
Taylor, 26, signed a contract extension in November 2021 but has yet to agree to a new deal under Rodgers.
Rodgers praised Taylor’s importance to the team, citing his performances and conduct.
“Greg is clearly someone I see as a big part of what we’re looking to continue here, and I hope over the coming months that we can [agree on a new contract],” Rodgers said.
Taylor has been a fixture in Rodgers’ team, starting alongside Alex Valle in recent matches.
Rodgers emphasized Taylor’s value beyond his on-field contributions.
“He’s a big voice in the changing room, focused, and loves being here,” Rodgers said.
With Taylor’s contract allowing him to sign a pre-contract agreement in less than two months, Celtic faces a critical decision.
Rodgers acknowledged the need for clarity.
“There does come a point where both sides understand what we’re thinking,” Rodgers said.
Taylor’s situation raises questions about his future at Celtic.
Will Celtic secure Taylor’s long-term commitment, or will he explore other options?
Only time will tell.
