Celtic fans will be on cloud nine as their side stride towards a potential domestic treble and could now be getting closer to securing the future of one of their senior stars, per a report.
Celtic look to claim a domestic treble to round off the campaign
Once again, Celtic are in the running to win all three trophies on offer in Scotland and could take one step closer to a domestic clean sweep by defeating St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup semi-final this weekend.
Brendan Rodgers’ side stand one point away from claiming a fourth successive Scottish Premiership title, even if they have to wait until next Saturday for a chance to rubber-stamp their achievement away to Dundee United.
Realistically, Celtic’s dominance has paid off once again across a campaign in which they have faced a feeble challenge from trophyless Rangers in the Scottish top-flight. Nevertheless, reflection processes are already underway ahead of 2025/26.
Looking to strengthen for next term, Rodgers has Stoke City winger Million Manhoef on his wishlist at Parkhead. Departures could pave the way for new additions to commence the evolution of a new squad cycle, so don’t be surprised if there are one or two surprise exits.
Internally, Greg Taylor’s Celtic future remains uncertain following months of deadlock surrounding his contract situation. The Scotland international is set to become a free agent in a few weeks after six years in Glasgow.

According to The Daily Record, Celtic are tabling a new and improved three-year contract to Taylor as they seek to retain his services on a deal that would tie him to the club until 2028.
The outlet claims he is set for a significant wage increase, but he is still concerned that Kieran Tierney’s impending arrival at Parkhead could limit his playing time.

Dinamo Zagreb are still in the hunt for Taylor’s signature, even if their pursuit could be complicated by Fabio Cannavaro’s recent departure from the dugout. MLS sides and clubs from England and Italy are also weighing up a move.
Labelled “brilliant” by Celtic icon Tierney, the 27-year-old must decide whether he wants to become one of the elder statesmen in the Bhoys dressing room.
Continuity in football is essential, especially at a club where established figures are needed to drive a culture of success. Taylor has certainly contributed to that front in recent times. Given his age, this will likely be the most lucrative contract of his career, so it is now up to the left-back whether to sign on for another three years.
