Neil Lennon’s Celtic are reportedly interested in Kilmarnock left-back Greg Taylor.

Kilmarnock manager Angelo Alessio has told The Scottish Sun that there has been no bid yet for reported Celtic target Greg Taylor.

Alessio has also revealed that Taylor, who can operate as a left-back or as a midfielder, missed Kilmarnock’s Scottish Premiership game against Aberdeen at home on Saturday afternoon due to a hamstring injury he picked up in training on Friday.

According to The Herald, Celtic are interested in signing Taylor from Scottish Premiership rivals Kilmarnock in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that the Hoops will complete the signing of the left-back within days for a transfer fee of £3 million.

Alessio told The Scottish Sun about Taylor on Saturday: “Yesterday after the warm-up there was a wee problem with the hamstring. At the moment it’s only rumours.

“I don’t think the club has received any offers from Celtic. We have spoken to the club and the owner and we want to keep our best players.”

Good signing for Celtic?

Taylor is a very good left-back who will be a smart addition to the Celtic squad, not just for now, but in the long run as well.

The left-back has been a regular for Killie over the years, and his extensive experience in the Scottish Premiership will help him settle easily into life at Celtic Park should he make the move to Neil Lennon’s side.
