Some Celtic fans have been debating the recent performances of summer signing Greg Taylor.
Neil Lennon’s men recently notched up an impressive 5-0 win over St. Mirren, with Leigh Griffiths grabbing a hat-trick. The game saw Greg Taylor start and play the full 90 minutes in left-midfield.
Has Taylor done enough to deserve time?
Of course he has
He's done nothing for it
After the game, a Hoops-related page posted about Taylor, saying that fans forget how young the Scotsman is. This post got a reaction out of many Celtic fans and they made their opinions known.

He offers nothing going forward, can’t beat a man and can’t cross the ball, how he is picked Infront of Hayes is beyond me.

He can’t pass the ball forward, can’t beat a man, poor at crosses and doesn’t win headers. Work rate is only average.

Taylor joined Celtic from Kilmarnock this past summer and since arriving, the Scotland international has made 21 appearances in all competitions. 14 of them have come in the Premiership, with all five of his assists this year coming in the league.
What do we think?
Taylor, who is valued at £900k (as per Transfermarkt), has played nine games in midfield this season and he had played in that role only six times in his career at Kilmarnock. In the current campaign, he has picked up four assists while playing in that role. It shows that the signs have been promising for him and considering this is his first season at Parkhead, there is every chance that he will improve.
