Greg Taylor made his Scotland debut at the end of last season

Celtic made a bid for Kilmarnock's Greg Taylor, but the offer fell short of the Ayrshire club's valuation.

Manager Neil Lennon said on Friday that left-back Taylor is "an option" before the transfer window closes on Monday.

Sunderland and Nurnberg have made bids for Taylor, 21, with Kilmarnock manager Angelo Alessio saying the club has yet to receive the "right offer".

"We're looking for a left-back," said Lennon. "There are a number of options and Greg would be one of those."

Sunderland are understood to have ended their interest in the Scotland cap now.

Lennon also said Celtic are "working on a few deals" before the closure of the transfer window on Monday.

"We might have something today or tomorrow," he said. "I don't have a definitive on that. These things take time.

"We will be looking to trim a few as well. There's been a bit of interest for players on loan."
