It was very clear in the summer that Celtic needed a new left-back in the building. one that could go straight into the first team and not just be competing with Bernabei as backup to Greg Taylor.
We didn’t get one and Taylor ended up having his worst spell at the club between the summer and winter, only beginning to pick up form in his last few matches.
It was still very clear that we needed to bring in a new left-back in the January window.
We now only have 1 week remaining and we still haven’t brought in a new left-back, which is driving fans insane.
And now, to add injury to insult if you like, there are rumours doing the rounds online that Greg Taylor has been injured in training and will be out of action for the next month.
TonesBhoy96 on KDS just recently posted the following:
Ones on HB saying Taylor out for a month. Thankfully we’ve already got a left back brought in and settled into the squad.
Imagine we had a week left of the window and needed to replace an injured Taylor…. This place would be on its lid
Another poster, Kyogo then added:
No idea of the reliability of the poster but Taylor doesn’t seem to be in the training pictures today.
It just shows you how ridiculous the whole situation is. We are gambling so much it’s unreal!
Let’s hope the rumour isn’t true, but even if it’s not, as things stand it just reminds us all how weak we are in this area and we are just an injury away to Taylor to having to rely on Bernabei staying put and playing at left-back on relying on one of the youngsters from the B Team.
It is an absolutely shocking state of affairs from the club that we don’t have a new quality left back in the building.
