Celtic Star to Drop Out of Scotland Squad With Replacement Lined Up

Celtic left-back For the forthcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Portugal, Greg Taylor is expected to be left off of Steve Clarke’s Scotland roster.
It coincides with his most recent injury problems, which have resulted in him being substituted off during the half of the Hoops’ games against Borussia Dortmund and St. Johnstone in the last ten days.

Then, on Sunday, Taylor was benched against Ross County in favor of Alex Valle, a loanee from Barcelona who was playing well.

Young Valle is clearly seizing this chance as he challenges Taylor for the team berth.

RecordSport reports that Taylor is set to withdraw from the group and will be replaced by Aberdeen’s Jack Mackenzie in the process.

After seven games, the 24-year-old has had an incredible start to the season with the Dons, who are now tied with Celtic for first place in the Scottish Premiership.

In the first game following the international break, the teams square off in a crucial draw at Parkhead.

Despite its significance, the hotly anticipated clash won’t be on Sky Sports. A traditional 3pm kick-off is set a week on Saturday as the Hoops look to find some daylight at the top of the table.
