    He's a clear weakspot in our team and both Hibs and Hearts have targeted him.

    I know Ange probably doesn't want to shift Juranovic back to the left but we need to try something else, either bring a LB in or give Scales a run there. Or even give Ralston some time there after the huns game.

    *. Capable of the odd nice pass but that doesn’t make up for the rest of his game.

    Criminal that we haven’t bought a left back.

    Just sign a left back. By far the weakest link in our starting 11.

    Struggled defensively - players getting in behind him and physically getting pushed around in 1v1 defensive situations. I would start Scales ahead of him vs Rangers.

    Consistently not good enough, has decent moments but nowhere near good enough. I’d play Scales or Ralston ahead of him.

    Just not Celtic class and he is going to cost us if he keeps playing.

    Thought he did alright the night. Certainly wasn't our worst player.

    For all the amazing decisions Ange has made, this is his bad one. Has to sort it.

    Absolute dog *. Honestly don’t see what he contributes at all. Gifts teams chances

    He's just too inconsistent for me. Often looks overwhelmed by the occasion and loses all composure when the pressure is on. In all honesty he is a poor defender. Ralston has his * ups but I feel much more confident in him to defend than Taylor.

    He did keep it well in the corner in the last few minutes tonight. But for most of the second half he was like a rabbit in the headlights.

    Hes a back up LB for us.

    Not a no1 in any celtic side, for me.

    Just imagine for the fee we paid for this dumpling, stick £500k on top and you can buy our 3 new Japanese players, lol.

    I would be so happy for us to sell him and Boli and buy a LB right now, Scales will do fine as a back up option.
    He is an honest pro but just not good enough-and is maxed out-will not improve.

    I have said this since we signed him, but I find it very odd that for a professional athlete how unfit Taylor seems. After 5 odd minutes he looks absolutely fecked.

    Thought he done alright. He's a backup and the first pick was boli. In the one game boli played he showed he was actually better. Budgeting to keep jota and CCV is a must though, so I understand not getting another LB until the summer when we know about champions league etc. Until then he'll just need to keep plodding on the best he can. If ralston turned us all around this guy can.
