Celtic have agreed a fee for Kilmarnock defender Greg Taylor, according to The Scottish Daily Mail’s chief football writer Stephen McGowan.
The journalist has also reported on Twitter that no other players will be involved in the transfer.

It comes after reports from Sky Sports that the move was in doubt due to a hold up with regards to Jack Hendry and Calvin Miller heading in the opposite direction.
Taylor is said to have already completed a medical ahead of a move so hopefully there won’t be too much delay in getting this one done ahead of the midnight transfer deadline.
The left-back was present in training with the Scotland national team earlier today and will be hoping to win more caps over the next week or so.
Taylor has emerged as one of the stand-out defenders in the Scottish Premiership over the last 18 months. He will provide capable support and competition for left-back Boli Bolingoli, effectively replacing Kieran Tierney’s presence at the club.
A hard-working and committed performer, he now has the opportunity to improve even more as a player working with coaches and more talented players at Celtic Park.
If the transfer is completed, he will become our eighth first-team summer signing of the season.
The move means that the Hoops have strong depth across the defensive line, in midfield and attack heading into the rest of 2019/20 season.
Will the club pull out an exciting late deal or two out of the bag in the final few hours of the window?
