DEAL DONE: Goalkeeper agrees ‘Stunning’ transfer to Rangers, offer impossible to turn down – report

The Scottish Sun reports that 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, 28, is rumoured to have found it tough to turn down the offer, as he is expected to rejoin Rangers, his first-ever professional team.

Rangers will complete yet another fresh signing.

As Jose Cordoba prepares to relocate from Levski Sofia in Bulgaria to Ibrox, Clement and Nils Koppen’s summer reconstruction has already started.

Given that Jon McLaughlin is ultimately expected to depart the club and that Robby McCrorie may also be leaving, adding someone for free in that area makes a lot of sense.

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.

A squad makeover involves more than just paying high salaries to marquee players; Kelly’s free agent acquisition may prove to be just as significant in the long run.
