    It was good to see him back. I think he's improved a lot since we signed him

    Decent enough game, had a physical battle on his hands all day.
    Still not the answer to a problem position but worth a place in the squad going forward.

    Not sure how a scouting team looking at Greg Taylor would think he fits our play style. It must have been apparent that he had limited pace and couldn't beat a man. Not wanting to go to town on him as he's not as bad as people make out but there's LB's in this league alone better suited to our set up. Not once over the years of playing Kilmarnock did I ever think to myself....I'll tell you what that Greg Taylor looks a player.....he has never stood out.

    I think he’s actually a great LB that does the traditional job of a left back. However in no way is he a wingback who’s up and down the wings playing accurate Balls in bombing past our wingers like a Celtic wingback needs to be. But I don’t think this is his fault, he’s been asked to play this role and I probably believe boli was supposed to be first choice

    No offence mate but if boli was supposed to be first choice, it makes spending 3 million pound on a second choice left back even more ridiculous, if he didn't make that tackle on joey barton 5 years ago would anyone even know who he was

    Same as normal mate, just the fact that when he has somebody infront of him he can take a run at it and overlap, pick up a bit of speed.

    When’s been the wingback or only guy on that wing more often than not he gets the ball when he’s stationary and needs to try and go for it from there.

    Us and ridiculous transfer decisions go hand in hand mate! Haha and I do actually think he was good at Killie, can’t be said he wasn’t as he was just solid for them and a mainstay. But playing his actual role. We’ve asked way too much of him

    You can add and subtract but he will never be good enough for us, should never have been signed.

    Agree mate genuinely don’t think he’s good enough to be at Celtic, he’s not exactly a tackler, lacks pace and any physical or aerial presence at corners and free kicks and more often than not his final ball will not even clear the first defender

    Very true our transfer strategy for
    Can't disagree with any of that, maybe the fact of going from kt to tbi
    Spot on, hopefully our transfer strategy changes rapid with mckay etc coming in

    Same 100% and yet he does come in and have the odd good game..

    He isn't the answer though. Keeps proving me right..
