Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers expressed his displeasure with a section of Celtic supporters for disrespecting Greg Taylor by singing Kieran Tierney's name during a match against St. Mirren.
Brendan Rodgers claims a section of Celtic supporters showed “a total lack of respect” towards Greg Taylor by singing Kieran Tierney ’s name near the end of the 3-0 win over St Mirren.
The Co Antrim native also called out Hoops supporters for groaning at his side’s play before Nicolas Kuhn’s opener after 33 minutes, with the German winger grabbing his brace after defender Auston Trusty added a second with Celtic stretching their lead over Rangers at the top of the William Hill Premiership to 13 points. Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney has been strongly linked with a move back to Celtic where he was a hero and while Rodgers refused to add to the speculation, he was far from pleased at those Hoops fans who showed their support for the Gunners defender in song while Taylor, who is out of contract at the end of the season, was still on the pitch. He said: “A total lack of respect. Of course it is. Greg Taylor, he’s been absolutely amazing at this club. How does he feel? “He nearly breaks his nose (today), bleeding for the club, for the cause. I’m more worried about the players that are here. “It’s not very respectful to sing for another player, no matter what Kieran’s history is. I don’t like that. I have a young player who’s given so much to this club over a number of years, consistently. “His robustness, ability, what he’s done for the club. So, that needs to be respected. He might decide to go elsewhere. “But at this moment in time, he’s here, he’s very much a Celtic player and we want to support that. Hopefully we can get to some agreement to let him stay. “I hear the stuff around, oh, maybe Champions League. But I’ve had hundreds of Celtic players that haven’t been good enough in the Champions Leagu
