Greg Taylor ‘considering offer from European club significantly higher than Celtic salary'
GREG TAYLOR is weighing up his next move after receiving an official approach from a European club, according to a report.
The Celtic left-back is out of contract this summer and is set to quit the Hoops amid the looming arrival of fan favourite Kieran Tierney.

Brendan Rodgers has made it abundantly clear that he wants to hold onto Taylor beyond this season but the Scotland international seemingly has other ideas.
He's been in talks with Celtic for a number of months but both parties have failed to reach an agreement.
And Taylor isn't short of options as several European sides have expressed interest.
We told you in January how Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb were readying an approach.
But since then he's also emerged as a shock target for Greek side PAOK, with both teams expected to battle it out for his signature.
Now latest reports out of Greece suggest PAOK have taken the lead in the transfer race after launching a concrete approach for him this week.
Sportal claim the Thessaloniki outfit have tabled an offer which includes a two-year contract, with an option to extend for another year.
It's suggested he will also receive a 'significantly improved' salary package compared to what he's earned at Celtic.
Taylor is currently in Dubai with his family and has yet to make a decision on his future.
The left-back will leave Celtic for nothing if he agrees terms with the Greek side or any other club this summer.
PAOK boss Razvan Lucescu has watched the defender in action in the Champions League so believes he would be ideal for his side's tilt at Europe next season.
PAOK finished third in the Greek Super League last season, qualifying them for a crack at the Europa League.
