Brendan Rodgers seeks to retain Greg Taylor amid Tierney return

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers acknowledges that the impending return of Kieran Tierney poses a challenge for current left-back Greg Taylor, who is weighing whether to extend his contract as it expires at season's end. Reports have suggested that Taylor may sign a pre-contract with Dinamo Zagreb, although Rodgers has stated he is unaware of any such agreement and remains hopeful of keeping Taylor at the club. He emphasizes that there is room for both players in the squad, given the substantial number of games Celtic plays each season, and believes they could benefit the team collectively. Taylor has proven himself as a starter for nearly six years, and Rodgers insists that competition for places should not deter him from staying. The manager has held discussions with Taylor about the situation, indicating he would still receive significant playing time. Ultimately, the decision rests with Taylor as he considers his future amidst the uncertainty.
