Hutton compares Taylor to Tierney – Why this is exciting for Celtic

Ex-Scotland international Alan Hutton believes Greg Taylor is a similar player to new Arsenal man Kieran Tierney and tips the former to succeed at Celtic; comments which bode well for the Hoops. 

According to Football Insider, Hutton believes Taylor will have no trouble with adjusting to life at Celtic and suggests that he and KT are similar players. 

He’s an exciting signing. I’ve seen him a lot at Kilmarnock, he’s one that’s really done well, he’s really blossomed as a player and Celtic see that. I believe he’ll slot into the Celtic team with ease, really.

He’s probably a guy, it’s a bit unfair to say, because Tierney’s done so well, but he’s very much in that mould. I think it’s a good fit for them and it’s a good fit for him and I think he’ll do well.

Hutton’s comments are certainly exciting for Celtic, as if Taylor can replicate Tierney’s success at Parkhead, then the Hoops have an incredibly talented player on their hands. 

Firstly, however, he must displace Boli Bolingoli from the starting lineup following his strong start to the season.

Celtic currently have two incredibly strong options at left-back, and it will be fascinating to see the pair develop at Parkhead.
