Greg Taylor shows Celtic mentality as Livingston clash rated bigger than Real Madrid bout

Greg Taylor says Celtic and their need to win every match they play means their next game is always their biggest.

The left-back is aware a glamour trip to face Real Madrid at the Bernabeu is on the horizon next Wednesday but a tough task away at Livingston comes first this Sunday, following on from their Champions League Group F draw against Shakhtar Donetsk. A trip to Spain will cap off the return to Europe's top table for Ange Postecoglou's men before heading out of the competition.

Taylor says it's been a brilliant learning curve but that doesn't take the focus away from a Premiership title race Celtic currently lead by four points. He said: "We wanted to be in Europe as long as we could, whether that be Champions League or Europa League, and we didn’t manage to stay in there. We have not quite got the results that we wanted to in the competition. But we aim to improve with each game.

"Hopefully we’ll get another crack at it next year. It gives you the incentive to do it again. It is unbelievable, it improves you as a player.

"You feel as though you are getting better, albeit it is difficult to learn by not getting the results we want. But it does make you want it more.

"The Champions League is the best competition in the world but Sunday is now the big one. Livingston has been a tough place to go throughout the years and they will be wanting to get a result.”
