Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to share their criticism for Hoops full-back Greg Taylor. 

This comes after Neil Lennon’s side crashed out of the Champions League after a 2-1 defeat to Hungarian side Ferencvarosi TC in the qualifying second round in midweek.

Starting with an easy one - which club did Celtic sign Moussa Dembele from?

After the match ended, lots of Celtic fans chose to log onto Twitter to express their thoughts on Taylor and his performance in the defeat at Celtic Park.

Here’s a sample of Celtic fans slamming Taylor:

The away side took the lead in the first 10 minutes of the match after David Siger scored the first goal of the game for the Hungarian visitors.

In the second half, Ryan Christie got the Hoops back on level terms with his equalising goal before Tokmac Chol Nguen scored another goal for Ferencvarosi to win the game.

The Scottish Sun gave Taylor a match rating of 6/10 for his display in the defeat claiming that he “took too many touches at times” throughout the game.

Is Greg Taylor good enough to play for Celtic?

Yes

Taylor signed for Celtic back in September 2019 from Kilmarnock. Since then, the 22-year-old has gone on to make 21 appearances for the Hoops in which he has managed to grab himself a goal and provide eight assists for his teammates (per Transfermarkt).

It’s a shame that these Celtic fans have decided to pick on Taylor in particular after this defeat in midweek. Hopefully, Taylor and Celtic can move on from this defeat in the Champions League and turn their focus onto potentially securing their tenth top-flight title in a row.
