Former Celtic defender Greg Taylor has left the door open for a potential return to the Scottish champions, despite currently playing for PAOK in Greece. Taylor, who ended his six-year spell with Celtic last summer, has not ruled out a comeback, expressing openness to the idea on Charlie Mulgrew's 'Pitch to Par' podcast. He said, 'I think I’d be open to everything. I’ve got two years left on my contract in Greece and I’d love to be a success out there. But if that didn’t materialise, I’d be open to anything.'
Taylor's comments come as Celtic are in need of a left-back to compete with Kieran Tierney, with Marcelo Saracchi's permanent move from Boca Juniors yet to be finalised. The 28-year-old left-back, who has moved abroad and enjoyed the experience, said, 'I loved playing in Scotland.'
While Taylor's future remains uncertain, his willingness to consider a return to Celtic is intriguing. He acknowledges the success he wants to achieve in Greece, but also leaves the door open for a potential comeback. Taylor's statement, 'In football, you never say never,' is a clear indication of his flexibility and the possibility of a future return to his former club.
This development raises questions about the dynamics of the Celtic squad and the potential impact of Taylor's return. With Celtic's need for a left-back and Taylor's expressed love for playing in Scotland, the prospect of his comeback is a fascinating one. However, it remains to be seen whether PAOK will allow him to leave early, and whether Celtic will be willing to re-sign him.
Taylor's openness to a return to Celtic is a significant development, and it will be interesting to see how this story unfolds. The Scottish football landscape is ever-changing, and the potential return of a former Celtic defender could have a significant impact on the club's future.
