Celtic’s recent Champions League victory over RB Leipzig has sparked a lot of interest, with Brendan Rodgers’ tactical decisions taking center stage. One notable choice was starting Greg Taylor over Alex Valle at left-back, surprising fans since Valle had performed well in that position while Taylor was injured. Although Taylor had returned during Celtic’s win over Aberdeen, many assumed he might still be on the bench against Leipzig.

Rodgers explained his reasoning to TNT Sports before the match, highlighting Taylor’s experience in the Champions League and his familiarity with the specific role needed for the game. Rodgers noted, “Each game is different… Greg has more experience of that role.” This approach paid off, as Taylor delivered a standout performance, marking his birthday with impressive stats: a 92% pass accuracy, one assist, perfect crossing, and solid defensive contributions. Taylor’s display reinforced his value to Celtic as his contract nears expiration, proving his worth for the team’s future.
