Celtic left-back Greg Taylor will have to put any issues with manager Brendan Rodgers behind him if he wants to earn his place back from in-form Alex Valle.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Celtic striker Frank McAvennie believes the 26-year-old may have had a bust-up with Rodgers, 51, and admits his competition with Alex Valle, 20, is ‘good for the team’.
Taylor reportedly picked up a calf injury in Celtic’s heavy 7-1 Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund and was forced to sit out their 2-1 win over Ross County on Sunday (October 6).
Barcelona loanee Valle has since stepped into the first team seamlessly, making six recoveries and winning three duels in his first full 90 minutes of the season against the Scottish Premier League strugglers.
Celtic doing fine without Greg Taylor
Valle was brought in to prove cover for Taylor after the Scotland international played 46 games across all competitions last season.
The Glasgow giants look well on their way to a fourth consecutive Scottish Premier League title after winning all seven of their opening league games.
“I like him (Valle), he’s got some great touches”, McAvennie told Football Insider.
“He likes to defend, I’m all for my left-back wanting to defend, I think he’s going to be good, I think he’s going to give Greg Taylor a run for his money that’s for sure.
“You hear Greg Taylor is injured or you hear he’s fallen out with the manager, there is all sorts of rumours going about a bust-up.
“But at the moment, the boy has come in and he’s not done anything wrong, and Greg will know whether he’s injured or whether he’s fallen out with the manager, he will have to fight to get back in.
“And that’s competition, it’s good for the team.”
