Scotland keeper Liam Kelly has agreed a two-year contract to stay at Rangers as the club gears up for the World Cup break. The 30‑year‑old returns for a third spell after re‑joining from Motherwell, having featured only 16 times in the past two seasons. His extension secures a familiar face in goal.

Kelly said he is delighted to extend his stay, calling his return to Ibrox a “special experience.” Head coach Danny Rohl praised the goalkeeper as a consummate professional who sets a brilliant example on the pitch, in training and behind the scenes. Rohl added the competitive goalkeeping department pushes everyone to improve daily.

With limited game time last campaign, Kelly will provide depth and mentorship to younger keepers while remaining ready to step in if injuries arise. His knowledge of the Rangers badge adds stability as the squad targets domestic silverware and a strong showing in Europe. Kelly’s contract ensures the club retains an experienced Scotland international for the season.

Rohl emphasized that Kelly’s attitude never wavers, describing him as a leader who contributes off the field as much as on it. The renewed deal reflects Rangers’ strategy of blending seasoned internationals with emerging talent, a formula that has underpinned recent league successes in recent campaigns.
