According to the Scottish Sun, Liam Kelly has decided to sign with Rangers instead of Motherwell, with a “stunning” return to Ibrox planned.
The soon-to-be free agent goalie is prepared to work with Philippe Clement on his extensive reconstruction this summer, replacing Jack Butland as his deputy.
Kelly is expected to rejoin Rangers, the team he started his career with, and it is rumored that the 28-year-old found it tough to turn down the offer.
Rangers are set to complete another new signing. The summer rebuild for Clement and Nils Koppen has already started, with Jose Cordoba scheduled to move from Levski Sofia in Bulgaria to Ibrox.
Given that Robby McCrorie may be leaving the team as well as Jon McLaughlin, it makes sense to sign a free agent in that position.
Kelly is likely aware going in that Butland has easily maintained his position as the top player at Ibrox and has had a terrific debut season.
The process of rebuilding a team involves more than just paying high salaries to famous players; acquiring Kelly for no cost could prove to be just as significant in the long run.
Since no moves are expected to be finalized before the Scottish Cup final on May 25 versus Celtic, this is definitely one to watch.
Kelly is scheduled to depart from Motherwell in June, so it appears that this one has already been arranged and should be announced really soon.
