The left-back joined the Hoops from fellow Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock in 2019 and has since gone on to make over 50 appearances in that period of time.
Recent reports suggested that Taylor was in talks for a new deal, and the club announced the news this afternoon. Ange Postecoglou reacted to the news, saying:
“I am delighted that Greg has extended his contract with the Club. He has had an excellent start to the season and has made a really valuable contribution to the team.
“Unfortunately, he has suffered the injury in recent weeks, but our focus and his is now to get him back in the squad as soon as possible, have him pick up where he left off and playing at that same high level.
“I am really pleased he has committed his future to Celtic, and I am sure he will be an important player for us over the next few years.”
The 24-year old started the season off as a regular in Postecoglou’s Celtic side but has faced a spell on the sidelines after picking up a shoulder injury, which he had to have surgery on and will likely keep him out until next year.
However, Ange appears to have shown great faith in the Scotland internationalist by handing him a new deal that will secure his future with the club for the next few years.
Ange and those working behind the scenes appear to be looking to tie players up on fresh terms, with the likes of Callum McGregor and Anthony Ralston also recently signing new deals to remain at the Hoops.
