Scotland's left-back Greg Taylor has officially signed with PAOK, the Greek top-flight club announced, following his decision to decline a new contract offer from Celtic. The 27-year-old defender, who has earned 14 caps for Scotland, spent six successful years with Celtic after transferring from Kilmarnock.

Taylor was a pivotal figure in Celtic's lineup, making 216 appearances, including 37 starts and six substitute appearances last season as the team secured the league title. His consistent performance and versatility have made him a valuable asset on the field.

PAOK, who finished third in the Greek Super League last season, are eager to leverage Taylor's experience and skills in their upcoming Europa League third qualifying round. The club expressed their enthusiasm on their X account, stating, "He came from Scotland. He is ready to fight. He is ready to play. He is ready to conquer!"

This move comes amidst changes in Celtic's defensive lineup, with Kieran Tierney returning to the club after his contract with Arsenal ended. Despite manager Brendan Rodgers' interest in retaining Taylor, the defender has chosen to embark on a new journey with PAOK.

As Taylor integrates into his new team, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how his presence influences PAOK's performance in both domestic and European competitions.
