According to Scott Burns, Liam Kelly has signed to a two-year contract with the Rangers, and the team will shortly make an announcement about his move to Ibrox.
Following his departure from Motherwell, the Scottish international has signed a two-year contract with Philippe Clement’s team, the Scottish Express journalist reported via his X account on Thursday, June 27.
Kelly will be the Belgian’s fourth addition of the summer transfer now as the Gers boss looks to put his own stamp on the squad and close the gap to Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
It had been reported by Chris Jack (27 June) that the 28-year-old had undergone a medical with the Light Blues and passed it without any issues and it now appears as though has transfer will be confirmed sooner rather than later.
When will Rangers announce the signing of Liam Kelly after Motherwell exit?
He may not have been back from Germany for very long following Scotland’s disappointing Euro 2024 exit, but Kelly has wasted no time getting his summer move to Ibrox over the line ahead of the start of next season.
Although no one is anticipating the stopper to take over for Jack Butland in the Glasgow goal, the Gers might use some depth with Robby McCrorie’s future unknown and Jon McLaughlin’s confirmed departure.
Kelly is eager to take on a supporting position on the pitch after Butland returns to Ibrox, and he possesses the skills necessary to be a competitive backup to him. For everyone engaged in the transaction, this move truly seems ideal.
Since Clement and his squad are just getting started this summer, supporters should not have to wait too long for the formal announcement to come through the club’s channels. After that, focus can be directed to more incomings.
