Greg Taylor was "unavailable" for a Sky Sports interview after being named man of the match for Celtic against Kilmarnock.
The left-back put in a standout display at Celtic Park in the 5-1 triumph before being subbed off after an hour.

However, Brendan Rodgers has vowed he will fight to keep Taylor beyond the summer as he refused to concede the player will leave.

The Celtic boss responded: "I'll always fight to the very end for a player and a person like Greg.
"He's earned the right to make the decision he wants, but I think you see in his performance today how important someone is in that role for us.
"It opens up so much, and he plays like a midfield player for us. We'll always try to convince (him to stay). But we'll see what happens come the end of the season."
