Rangers release a medical update on Liam Kelly as the summer Ibrox transfer draws near.
The Scottish stopper is scheduled to return to Glasgow after finishing his tests; his signature is all that is needed to finalize the transaction, according to a story published by the Rangers Review journalist on Thursday, June 27.
With Robby McCrorie leaving to pursue regular first-team football away from Ibrox and Jon McLaughlin being released, Kelly is anticipated to serve as Jack Butland’s backup for the upcoming campaign.
The former Motherwell player will be Philippe Clement’s fourth summer addition as he looks to restructure his team after Celtic won the championship the previous year.
In an attempt to acquire Philippe Clement this summer, will Rangers sign Liam Kelly at Ibrox?
It’s unlikely that Kelly will be the most intriguing addition made at
Although it is unlikely that he will replace Butland in the starting lineup right away, his expertise as a campaigner will provide valuable experience to the locker room and could prove crucial in the title fight.
If Butland were to go this summer, he might have to step up and play, although you would think the Gers would try to find a replacement for the Englishman. In any case, it would be unexpected to see a lot of Kelly on screen.
With any luck, the club will make a statement soon, and Clement and his group can get back to work negotiating contracts for one or two more departing players before the preseason gets underway.
