Scotland's left back Greg Taylor has joined PAOK, as confirmed by the Greek top-tier club, after turning down a new deal with Celtic.

The 27-year-old, who has represented his nation 14 times, dedicated six years to the Scottish champions after transferring from Kilmarnock.

Kieran Tierney, a key player for Scotland who can play in both left-back and central defensive positions, has returned to Celtic following the conclusion of his contract with Arsenal.

However, manager Brendan Rodgers was also eager to retain Taylor, especially after loanee Jeffrey Schlupp's return to Crystal Palace.

In announcing Taylor's signing on their X account, PAOK provided no additional details, stating: “He came from Scotland. He is ready to fight. He is ready to play. He is ready to conquer!”

During his time at Celtic, Taylor made 216 appearances, which included 37 starts and six off the bench in the previous season as the team secured the league title once again.

Last season, PAOK finished in third place behind Olympiakos and Panathinaikos in the Greek Super League and are set to compete in the third qualifying round of the Europa League.
