Celtic left back Greg Taylor has told The Herald that he was a little jealous seeing Andrew Robertson celebrate the Premier League title with his Liverpool teammates.

Liverpool sealed the title on Thursday night, as Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Manchester City meant the Reds couldn’t be caught at the top.

Jurgen Klopp’s men had beaten Crystal Palace 4-0 just 24 hours earlier, and were able to celebrate late into Thursday night with their teammates.

Sadly, Celtic haven’t been able to celebrate properly. Lockdown protocol is more strict in Scotland than it is in England right now, and Celtic haven’t been given a chance to celebrate their achievements.

With the focus already on next season, Celtic players may never get the chance to celebrate, which is truly disappointing after a ninth title in a row.

Some players have celebrated many in the past, but this was left back Taylor’s first. The 2019 signing from Kilmarnock should have been able to celebrate a league title for the first time, but was robbed of that opportunity.

Now, Taylor has admitted that he did feel jealousy seeing Scotland international teammate Robertson celebrate the title with his Liverpool pals.

Taylor admitted that he did send Robertson a text to congratulate him, but that Celtic’s FaceTime and Zoom celebrations just don’t match up to what Liverpool players experienced.

“Seeing them have that moment together, it did make me feel like that,” Taylor said. “We have still not actually been able to do that so there is a wee bit of jealousy. We were delighted to get nine in a row and it’s a massive achievement for the club but it would have been nice to celebrate it in front of the fans or just have that moment as a team.”

“I texted [Andy] this morning to say well done and what a season. He got back to me after training to say thanks very much, top man. So, it was brief. He has been enjoying his celebrations but listen, it’s fully deserved. It’s been a long time coming for them. We had the odd Zoom call, a wee FaceTime with a few of the guys but the focus now is all on next season. We might miss out on that which is a wee bit of a downer. Equally it is my first major trophy and I don’t want to downplay how proud that made me and my family,” he added.
