RANGERS can today confirm the signing of Scotland international goalkeeper Liam Kelly on a two-year deal.
The 28-year-old, who came through the Academy at Auchenhowie, will return to the club on the expiration of his Motherwell contract.
Since leaving Rangers in 2018, the stopper has enjoyed successful spells at Livingston, Queen’s Park Rangers and Motherwell.
Kelly, who was named in Scotland’s Euro 2024 squad in Germany this summer, will begin training with the Light Blues in the coming weeks.
Speaking after signing for the club, Kelly said: “It is unbelievable to be back at Rangers, when I left, I probably never thought I would be back, but I am so delighted to be here. I know the size of the club, I spent 14 years here, so it is a great feeling, and I am looking forward to the new challenge.
“You always have faith in your own ability that you can play at the top level and this club is the highest level. I am joining a really talented group of players and a really talented group of goalkeepers, so I am excited.”
Manager Philippe Clement added: “I am delighted we have been able to secure the signing of Liam. We have had some really positive conversations, and he is a goalkeeper with experience in Scotland and in the Scottish Premiership which will be valuable for our squad.
“Under Colin Stewart, we have a really strong goalkeeping department, and the addition of Liam will only further strengthen that as we prepare for the 2024/25 season.”
Director of Football Recruitment, Nils Koppen commented: “We are thrilled to welcome a goalkeeper with Liam’s experience into our squad.
“He is someone who knows the demands of this club and league, and enjoyed a positive past few seasons at Motherwell. It is important we continue to strengthen all aspects of the squad, and it is fantastic we have been able to add Liam to the group.”
