Greg Taylor: Celtic clinch signing of Kilmarnock & Scotland left-back

Greg Taylor has mentality for big occasions – Stephen O’Donnell

Greg Taylor has completed his move to Celtic from Kilmarnock on a four-year deal.

The left-back, 21, had been the subject of talks between the clubs in recent days with a deal now struck.

Sunderland and Nuremberg had previously made bids for the Scotland international, but the English League One side then ended their interest.

“It’s been a whirlwind of a day but I’m over the moon to be here,” Taylor told Celtic TV.

“As soon as I knew of Celtic’s interest, I was desperate to come, so it’s been a great day, certainly now that it’s done.

“It’s massive club, everyone knows that, and I’m here to win trophies, it’s as simple as that and I can’t wait to hopefully be a part of it. I’m delighted to be a Celtic player, and I want to try and impress the fans, and obviously the manager.”

Taylor will compete with Boli Bolingoli for the left-back berth vacated by Kieran Tierney after his move to Arsenal.

A Kilmarnock statement said: “The club would like to thank Greg for his services to Kilmarnock Football Club, and wishes him the best for the future.”
