Greg Taylor predicts Moi Elyounoussi will be "massive" for Celtic as they push for a 10th title in a row.
The Norwegian has joined on loan from Southampton for a second season in a row, with his first campaign blighted by injury.
Elyounoussi was a regular in the first half of the season but was held back by a foot problem after the winter break.
That stood in contrast to Taylor, who initially struggled to break into the team after his move from Kilmarnock but slowly established himself as first choice left-back.
As a result the pair have only played five competitive matches together, but their understanding has been developing in pre-season with a little help from midfield maestro Callum McGregor.
Taylor told Celtic TV : "All three of us – myself, Moi Elyounoussi and Callum McGregor – all like playing together.
"There’s a good understanding there and we’ve developed that over the last few weeks in pre-season. Hopefully that goes from strength to strength. I’m certainly enjoying it and I think the other two lads are as well.
“Moi’s movement is top-class. I think he’ll play a massive part this season and be a massive player for us.
"I certainly enjoy having him in front of me and I think the boys certainly enjoy having him in the team. He scored again the other night and hopefully he can continue doing that.”
