Rangers Could Beat Celtic to Top Full-Back
Rangers are reportedly eyeing up Celtic’s Greg Taylor, with one Parkhead star hailing him as “Europe’s best” in his position. According to Kris Boyd, Rangers should consider signing Taylor, whose contract is set to expire at Celtic Park. Callum McGregor has also spoken highly of Taylor, saying: “There are very few players in Europe that I’ve seen who play that position (inverted full-back) better than him, and it gives the team a different dynamic as well.”
Taylor’s Importance to Celtic
McGregor highlighted Taylor’s importance to the team, praising his vocal presence in the dressing room and his role in driving standards. “He gives everything for the club every single day, he’s vocal in the dressing room and helps to drive the standards and takes responsibility,” McGregor said. The Celtic captain would love to see Taylor sign a new contract, but it’s unclear whether the player will commit to a new deal.
Rangers’ Interest
Rangers are reportedly interested in signing Taylor, with Boyd claiming that the player is a better option than the club’s current full-backs, Ridvan Yilmaz and Jefte. “I think he’s shown that for a period of time now,” Boyd said. “There’s no getting away from it. As a free contract, he might not sign it, but we know the way the world works now.”
Conclusion
The potential transfer of Greg Taylor to Rangers is an intriguing one, with both clubs having different needs and priorities. While Celtic would want to retain Taylor’s services, Rangers may see him as a valuable addition to their squad. With McGregor’s praise and Boyd’s endorsement, it’s clear that Taylor is a highly regarded player in Scottish football.
