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.

Celtic's McGregor makes surprising pre-season admission
The central midfielder will be looking to get off to a flying start in the 2025/26 campaign, aiming to put his crucial Scottish Cup final penalty miss behind him. "It's been a long summer," McGregor told "Longer than what I am used to anyway. But over the last few days, you are just eager to get back in and get back on it. "You always have that excitement about what a new season can bring, with the opportunities and possibilities. Read more: "So, it's nice to get away, refresh and take stock a little bit. Once you drive through the gate this morning, you are back to work, and the serious stuff starts now. So, we're looking forward to it." Celtic have a host of friendlies on the horizon this summer against the likes of Newcastle United, Sporting CP, Ajax and more. The overarching focus of pre-season is on fitness, sharpness and getting back into the groove. It has changed from days gone by, though, explains McGregor. He said: "I think nowadays, pre-season, the bedding in period is probably a little bit easier, like getting straight into running to be sick. "The game has changed a little bit since then. It's the guys in the medical department who do all the screening to make sure everybody is okay. "We had a light break-in session this afternoon, and then on Saturday the double sessions start. "I might be a little bit different, I quite enjoy pre-season. I was up at seven o'clock this morning, ready to go and champing at the bit to get out the door." Celtic's first pre-season friendly takes place next Friday as they travel across Glasgow to take on Queen's Park.

Darts legend Phil Taylor's new job has him feeling 'like a fish out of water'
Darts icon Phil Taylor has taken to presenting after waving the oche goodbye this year, but the 64-year-old 16-time champion of the world admits he's still finding his feet Phil Taylor has admitted he feels like a fish out of water in his new role as a presenter. The 16-time world champion retired from darts in May of this year. The Power is undoubtedly the greatest player ever to pick up a dart, winning a record 87 major PDC titles, including triumphing at Ally Pally on 16 occasions, the same number of times he's come out on top at the World Matchplay. At the age of 57, he stepped away from the PDC in 2018 but continued to grace exhibitions. Four years later, he took part in his first competitive event since retirement, the inaugural World Seniors Darts Championship. However, The Power came to terms with the fact that his darting ability was not what it once was, and left the oche behind for good in May. Taylor's arrows have since been swapped for a microphone. He now prepares to take another stab at being a presenter when he joins the team at the World Seniors Darts Champion of Champions on Sunday, June 29, though he admits he isn't as polished a host as he was an arrowsmith. "I'm like a fish out of water at the minute, so I'm still learning," said Taylor in the build-up to the World Seniors Darts Bet Goodwin Champion of Champions, live and free on Pluto TV. "I've got to take my hat off to these commentators. "If it were a football match, I wouldn't have a clue who's passing the ball or playing for which team! I wouldn't even know who's on whose side. It's remarkable what they do. "Every time I present, I'm learning. I will get used to it, but it's like an apprenticeship, I think. So you've got to do your apprenticeship and learn your job. I'll keep pushing forward and learn. But I am enjoying it. "There's no pressure, obviously. I haven't got to get up and start practising and make sure I'm getting ready for nighttime and all that kind of thing, so I can just relax and enjoy it." Taylor appeared briefly on the World Seniors Tour but made the decision to call time on all competitive darts just last month, admitting that he didn't want to disappoint fans who had paid to see him with lacklustre throwing. "I was really, really looking forward to it. Loved the idea of the Seniors Darts. Enjoyed playing in it. But I couldn't perform like Phil Taylor could perform," he added. "So it broke my heart a little bit. "My body had changed. I mean, I'm 65 this year. So I was in my 60s. It got harder and harder for me, and I couldn't perform. And people were paying money to come and see me. "It broke my heart not to perform like I can. And I thought, 'I can't do this anymore. This is not right. If I do something, I have to do it properly.' I'm a bit of a perfectionist. "People were paying good money to come and see me. Getting taxis, paying prices for whatever they charge for beers and food and this, that and the other. And I can't give them a show. So, no. I'd had my time. It was time to walk away then. "I haven't even got a set of darts now. Or a dartboard," continued Taylor. "I've got a dartboard in the back room. But it's still in the box. I was so dedicated and everything. But I can't do it now. "So, I do other things. I see my grandkids a lot more. And the best thing in the world is staying and sleeping in your own bed. Which I'd not done for 30 years and I love it." Streaming exclusively on Pluto TV, the MODUS Super Series channel offers fans 24/7 darts content including 104 live matches every week, behind-the-scenes features, and exclusive tournaments. Viewers can stream the event for free across all devices including mobile, desktop, and connected TVs. See
