Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted that Greg Taylor is "more likely now" to leave the club this summer, with the Scotland left-back once again left out of the squad for their 3-0 win over Heart of Midlothian.
January signing Jeffrey Schlupp has been preferred in recent weeks, with Taylor last featuring in a 22 February defeat to Hibernian.
Despite making over 200 appearances for Celtic, the 27-year-old looks set to move on, especially with fellow Scotland international Kieran Tierney already secured on a pre-contract from Arsenal.
"I've been in this position so many times and I can read situations," Rodgers said.
"It's probably more likely now that Greg will move on than stay, which is a big shame for me because I love him as a person—and I love his game because it's suited to how we work.
"It's not financial, but I respect his position because he wants to feel he'll play every week."
"Whoever is in next year with Kieran will still play a lot of games, but my feeling is that Greg may well move on."
Despite uncertainty over his future, Rodgers insists Taylor remains committed to giving his all for the rest of the season.
Meanwhile, Schlupp impressed against Hearts, playing a key role in the opening goal.
The 32-year-old, on loan from Crystal Palace, appears open to extending his stay, though Rodgers remains non-committal.
"That's something between now and the end of the season we'll look at," the Celtic boss added.
"But I don't want to commit too early.
"Obviously, we know we've got Kieran coming in the summer, who is high level. We know we'll need to have someone else if Greg moves on."
