GREG TAYLOR is poised to quit Celtic as his contract counts down – and the defender looks to be heading for Dinamo Zagreb, as CQN reported back in December.
The 27-year-old Scotland international left-back and the Hoops hierarchy have been locked in talks for months without a breakthrough in negotiations.
With former fans’ favourite Kieran Tierney returning to the fold in the summer after a six-year absence at Arsenal, the way is clear for Taylor to leave when his terms expire in June.

Brendan Rodgers admitted he was keen to keep the player who joined from Kilmarnock for £2.1million in September 2019, but it increasingly looks as though the back-four operator is heading for the exit with his next stop Croatia, according to local media outlet Sportske.
Taylor has yet to give the shift the green light, but it now appears only a matter of time before he says farewell to the Hoops.
He started the 6-0 midweek win over Dundee at Parkhead before being replaced by on-loan Crystal Palace No.3 Jeffrey Schlupp in the 72nd minute.
Taylor will be in at the kick-off for tomorrow night’s Scottish Cup last-16 encounter with Raith Rovers at Parkhead, but it seems his days as a Celt are numbered.
