Jota continues to make the headlines but the Superstar from Portugal pointed credit for Celtic’s impressive start to the season towards the original unsung hero. Greg Taylor.
Alexander Bernabei’s arrival has presented a very obvious challenge for the left-back spot but it isn’t a slot that the former Kilmarnock player is going to hand over without a fight.
Ange Postecoglou is keen to develop competition, depth in the squad and alternatives but when the biggest fixtures come along there are usually 12 or 13 players certain to be involved.

The return to his native patch seemed to bring out an extra edge in Taylor’s game, as illustrated by the movement and pass that created the opening for the first goal of the match.
Taylor has played from start to finish in all three of Celtic’s matches, three years after his switch from Rugby Park he has shrugged off the competition of Boli Bolingoli, Diego Laxalt and a few others to become a key part of Postecoglou’s plans.
