As his contract ticks down, Greg Taylor’s value appears to increase with each passing day.
If the left-back’s agent needs any fresh ammunition in his efforts to secure a lucrative new deal for his client, he could have done worse than reference the glowing words of Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers at his latest media conference.
While Rodgers insisted he was in the dark following fresh rumours of Celtic offering Taylor improved terms to extend his stay, he couldn’t have been more fulsome in his praise of the 27-year-old’s qualities.
Taylor’s situation, of course, is not wholly predicated on finance, even at a crucial stage of his career when he not unreasonably hopes his next contract will be his most rewarding yet.
