Greg Taylor, born 5 November 1997 (age 28), is a Scotland left-back from Greenock whose senior career took shape at Kilmarnock before Celtic moved for him in September 2019.

At Celtic, Taylor became a far more important player than his arrival suggested. Across six seasons he made 156 league appearances and scored six league goals, with his strongest attacking return coming in 2022–23, when he scored three times in 31 league games.

His Celtic spell brought proper substance as well as longevity. Taylor won four Premiership titles, three League Cups and two Scottish Cups, and was also part of sides that finished runners-up in two Scottish Cups and one Premiership. He was rarely the flashiest name in the side, which was rather the point: dependable, fit, positionally alert and useful in the sort of domestic grind that exposes weaker players quickly.

Taylor left Celtic in July 2025 for PAOK, where he wears the number three shirt. In 2025–26 he has made 12 league appearances and 15 in all competitions for the Greek club, including Europa League qualifying and Europa League football.

His market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Kilmarnock gave him his platform and PAOK became his next step, but the main body of his career so far was built at Celtic, where he turned a low-key signing into a long, decorated spell.

Taylor’s career arc has been relatively clean – Kilmarnock to Celtic, then PAOK at 28. The Celtic spell remains the defining period, with the supplied record showing goals in both 2022-23 and 2023-24, before a move abroad that looks more like a change of context than a developmental step.

The transfer history points to a player who climbed from Kilmarnock to Celtic in 2019 for an undisclosed fee, then left Celtic for PAOK on a free transfer in July 2025. That free move suggests Celtic extracted his main value on the pitch rather than through resale, while PAOK picked up an experienced Scotland international at no fee.
