Greg Taylor, born in Greenock on 5 November 1997 (age 28), is a Scotland left-back now with PAOK. His route to Celtic ran through Kilmarnock, where he built the sort of domestic reputation that made his September 2019 move to Glasgow feel sensible rather than spectacular.
At Celtic, Taylor became more important than the initial noise around him suggested. He was not a glamour signing, and he was rarely treated as one, but he gave Celtic six seasons of dependable work on the left side. Across that spell he made 156 league appearances and scored six league goals, with his most productive league season coming in 2022-23, when he scored three times in 31 appearances.
His Celtic years brought proper substance: four Premiership titles, three League Cups and two Scottish Cups. He was also part of Celtic sides that finished runners-up in two Scottish Cups and one Premiership campaign. That is a sizeable body of work, and it explains why his career is still viewed primarily through his time in Glasgow.
Taylor left Celtic in July 2025 for PAOK, taking the number three shirt and continuing as a left-back. In 2026-27, he has made five appearances for the Greek club across the Super League and European qualifiers. His current market value is around £3.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career has moved from Kilmarnock to a long, trophy-heavy Celtic spell and then on to PAOK. The Celtic period remains the clear centre of it: long enough, successful enough, and useful enough to be remembered without needing much dressing up.
