Greg Taylor’s move to Celtic is nearing completion with the left-back inside the stadium to complete his transfer.
After a fraught 48 hours when the deal hung in the balance with others players suggested as part-exchange a breakthrough was made in late afternoon.

Taylor has been on stand-by to complete the move all weekend although there was never any likelihood of him playing for Celtic at Ibrox yesterday.
After making more than 100 SPFL appearances for Kilmarnock the 21-year-old has the chance to step up into the Celtic side and experience European football.
Taylor trained with Scotland’s international squad today and will return there later tonight once the formalities of his move have been completed.
His arrival takes Celtic’s spending for the summer to £15m following the arrival of Christopher Jullien, Boli Bolingoli and Hatem Abd Elhamed- with all of the fees paid out for defenders.
