Move for Taylor reportedly in doubt – How much of a blow is this for Celtic?

Celtic have been dealt a potential blow in their pursuit of Greg Taylor, following reports that the move is in doubt, so how much of a setback is this for the Hoops?

According to Sky Sports News, Taylor proposed move to Celtic is reportedly in doubt and the left-back is currently waiting for an update, though the report does not state why the move has suffered a setback.

So how much of a blow is this for Celtic?

Missing out on Taylor after a summer of continuous links with the defender would be a huge blow for the club, especially after he reportedly completed his medical with the Hoops over the weekend.

Furthermore, given the lack of time remaining in the transfer window, Celtic would clearly struggle to arrange an alternative signing for Taylor should the deal now fall through.

While Boli Bolingoli has improved following a nervous start to his Hoops career, Neil Lennon clearly wants competition at left-back, hence the pursuit of Taylor, and he will be disappointed if he doesn’t land the Scotland international.

The report suggests that Kilmarnock and Celtic are still in discussions over the respective permanent and loan deals for Calvin Miller and Jack Hendry.
