Taylor shared a heartfelt goodbye message of his own. It read: “Six years, 200 appearances, and 11 trophies later, all good things come to an end.”

“A chapter of my life that I will never forget. My experiences on the pitch have gone beyond anything I could have imagined. Just as importantly, off the pitch I’ve grown as a person; becoming a husband, and most importantly, a father. Walking out with my daughter in front of 60,000 fans was the ultimate highlight. It’s something I’ll remember forever.”

“Celtic truly is one of a kind. Every time I pulled on the shirt, I gave it everything. What an honour it has been to wear the hoops, I have loved every minute and have never taken it for granted.”

“A heartfelt thank you to every manager who trusted me and to everyone behind the scenes, these are the people who make Celtic.”

“I’ve had the privilege of sharing the dressing room with some incredible teammates. Not just great players, but great people. Many go through their entire careers without the chance to lift a trophy. To have won so much together with this group is truly special,a feeling no words can describe.”

“Lastly, thank you to all the fans who supported me along the way. It never went unnoticed.”

“I feel so fortunate to have been a Celtic player, and now I can watch on from afar as a Celtic fan. Thank you.”
