Explosive Celtic 'bust-up' claim emerges as Hoops hero shares what he's heard from those around Parkhead
A Celtic claim has been made by a club hero.
Celtic hero Frank McAvennie has claimed he’s heard about a Celtic bust-up between Brendan Rodgers and Greg Taylor.
The Scotland international is the undisputed number one left-back at the Hoops, with Barcelona loanee Alex Valle the latest challenger to his position. A calf injury was reportedly picked up in the Champions League agaisnt Borussia Dortmund.
Valle has shown flashes of potential when stepping in for Taylor but now ex-striker McAvennie suggests there may have been a disagreement of sorts between the boss and his defender. He claims to have heard from people around Celtic that a falling out may have occurred.
McAvennie told Football Insider: “I like him (Valle), he’s got some great touches. He likes to defend, I’m all for my left-back wanting to defend, I think he’s going to be good, I think he’s going to give Greg Taylor a run for his money that’s for sure.
“You hear Greg Taylor is injured or you hear he’s fallen out with the manager, there is all sorts of rumours going about a bust-up, that’s what I am hearing from people around the club.
“But at the moment, the boy has come in and he’s not done anything wrong, and Greg will know whether he’s injured or whether he’s fallen out with the manager, he will have to fight to get back in. And that’s competition, it’s good for the team.”
Next up for Celtic is a crucial Premiership clash with Aberdeen. Both clubs have won each of their seven league matches this season.
