It's same in every window but I won't be left back in Celtic's dressing room

Taylor keeps hearing his time is up as he targets more glory

HE'D need the skin of a rhinoceros if it didn't bother him a little bit.

Not after all of this time.

Whenever the transfer market opens up for business, Greg Taylor is aware of the same question being asked. And the same answer being given.

"Where should Celtic look to strengthen? Well, they could probably do with looking at a left-back.

And yet here he is, after four-and-a-half years, with more than 100 appearances for the club under his belt and all manner of medals on the mantelpiece.

If his is a position in need of an upgrade this January then it certainly didn't look like it on Tuesday night as a rampaging Taylor smashed home the volley which sealed a 3-0 romp at St Mirren and kept Celtic's eight-point lead secure.

So it's no wonder his patience wobbled a little bit afterward when it was put to him that his manager might be sniffing around in the sales, looking for his replacement.

"It's always been the case, hasn't it?" was how Taylor replied with just the hint of a bristle before adding, "It's been the same in every transfer window since I signed here. It's part of being at a big club.

"There will always be challenges and people breathing down your neck that want to take your jersey.

"Never rest on what you've done previously and always try to listen to the coaches and the cinch Sma at manager. That normally stands you in good stead." It has certainly worked for Taylor. That attitude and CE work ethic was FOU that earned him the move from Kilmarnock in the first place.

It's why he was shoehorned into

the starting line-up after Kieran Tierney left for Arsenal.
