Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says Kieran Tierney's return to the club is an 'issue' in trying to convince Greg Taylor to stick around.
The left-back's deal at Parkhead expires at the end of the current campaign, and he is yet to put pen to paper on a new contract.
As it stands, Taylor will leave Glasgow's east end in the summer for free, with reports in Croatia recently stating that the 27-year-old was 'set' to join Dinamo Zagreb on a pre-contract.
While Rodgers rubbished those claims yesterday, he conceded that Tierney's impending return to Celtic provides him with a problem in convincing Taylor to sign on: "I do think that is an issue," said the manager.

"There's no doubt about that. He's been a starter here for virtually six years. He's always had a challenge that he's overcome from other players coming in, which is a great testament to him and his mentality and his professionalism.
"He knows Kieran well and he knows his qualities and his abilities but there still can be room for two of them here."
It remains to be seen where Taylor's long-term future lies.
Rodgers is undoubtedly keen to keep him around at Parkhead, but Tierney's homecoming has thrown a considerable spanner into the works.
Taylor, though, remains a Celtic player until at least the end of the season and will have his sights set on helping his club secure a domestic treble.
