Greg Taylor set for PAOK move after leaving Celtic
The Scotland international, who was a free agent, has chosen the Greek side over Dinamo Zagreb and Copenhagen.
Fabrizio Romano reported that the 27-year-old has agreed a three-year deal with the Super League club.
Taylor had been a regular starter at Celtic and was offered a new contract by Brendan Rodgers.
However, he has decided to move on, leaving the club in search of a new left-back.
Taylor, who has been a key player for several seasons, will now begin a new chapter in Greece.
His departure means Celtic must find a replacement to compete with Kieran Tierney for the left-back position.
Taylor's career began at Kilmarnock before he joined Celtic, where he won numerous domestic honours and represented Scotland on multiple occasions.

He says that Braga have sent a €2million (£1.7m) proposal, that negotiations are continuing and Lagerbielke wants to move. The loan deal at Twente does not include an option to buy and, as he came towards the end of stay in Enschede, he posted an emotional farewell on his social media. Lagerbielke said on Instagram, 'Tukkers, from the first day arriving in Enschede, I felt at home. 'Every day I drove to the training ground in Hengelo, I felt excitement. 'Every day I was around the team and the staff, I felt joy. Every day I put on the Twente shirt, I felt proud. 'Every day I played in front of you supporters, I felt honoured. 'And today I feel grateful. Grateful for all of you and for letting me be a part of your family. 'Bedankt [Thanks].'

Lagerbielke has three years left on his current deal at Celtic and told a media outlet in his home country in March that he was focusing on his football. He told: Fotbollskanalen: "I've learned now from being abroad. You don't have much to say about everything. "I just focus on the next match, even if it sounds cliché. "Then the negotiators have to solve it. If I get something to say about, I'll give my opinion on it later, says Lagerbielke. "There are great forces at play, so I have to focus on football." Twente are also keen to bring back Robin Propper from Rangers. It remains to be seen whether the Dutchman still has a future at the club under new boss Russell Martin.
