‘Like A New Signing This Year’ ‘What A Player He’s Been This Season’ Fans Hail Celtic Star After Hearts Cameo
Celtic left-back Greg Taylor scored the winner ten minutes after coming on as a substitute in the 4-3 win against Hearts at the weekend.
In a dramatic game at Tynecastle, which was dominated by VAR, the 24-year-old toe-poked the ball home from close range to ensure the Hoops secured three vital points.
Taylor has been in outstanding form this campaign and fans on Twitter have been paying tribute to the defender, with many believing he is an early contender for the club’s player of the season award:
Like a new signing this year. Unrecognisable.

The fullback has had his critics since moving from Kilmarnock three years ago and it’s fair to say that, up until the middle of last season, many supporters believed that the club should go into the transfer market to find an upgrade.
Taylor has, however, upped his game over the last twelve months and, even though Celtic have recruited Alexandro Bernabei to provide some competition in the intervening period, manager Ange Postecoglou has kept faith with the Scottish international, who has come on leaps and bounds under the Australian.
