Chris Sutton thinks Celtic miss Greg Taylor.
The left-back, who departed the club for free in the summer, now plays his football for Greek side PAOK.
Taylor made 216 appearances across six years at Parkhead.
He was replaced by Kieran Tierney in the summer, although Sutton isn't convinced the returning hero is an improvement.

Indeed, he reckons the Bhoys miss what Taylor brought to the inverted full-back role.
"While I love Kieran Tierney, he’s not yet proved to be an improvement on Greg Taylor, who brought a lot to the side when he stepped into midfield," said Sutton [RecordSport].
"If anything, Taylor’s absence is being felt more by the week. The middle of the park isn’t working.
"Benjamin Nygren has shown positive signs in Scotland but he wants too much time in Europe. You need to think and move quicker, take the ball on the move and pass it sharper.
"Hatate isn’t as effective as he has been and while people are pointing the finger at Callum McGregor, I actually have sympathy for him.
"He likes to take the ball on the turn and knit things together but he clearly doesn’t trust the players around him because they keep losing the ball and he’s the one who has to mop up. You can’t blame him for taking safer options.
"And then you get back to the serious lack of quality up front. It’s a concerning combination and on current viewing you can forget any notion of going deep in the Europa League.
"Celtic should be worried about Scotland."
