The 30-year-old shot-stopper, whose previous short-term deal was set to expire at the end of the season, has put pen to paper following highly productive negotiations with the club&#8217;s management.<br>\u200bSecuring Kelly\u2019s future is a calculated and vital piece of business for manager Danny Rohl. As Rohl gears up for a significant summer squad rebuild following a third-place finish in the Scottish Premiership, maintaining continuity and strong leadership within the dressing room is paramount. Kelly, an academy graduate who returned to the club in 2024 after successful spells at Livingston, QPR, and Motherwell, fits the criteria perfectly. He provides elite support to undisputed number one Jack Butland and fulfills crucial UEFA homegrown player quotas for upcoming European campaigns.<br>\u200bDespite being limited to three cup appearances this past season, Kelly&#8217;s undeniable quality and professional standard have kept him firmly in the international picture. His commitment to Ibrox arrives at the perfect time, providing the goalkeeper with total peace of mind just days after being named in Steve Clarke\u2019s Scotland squad for the upcoming World Cup.<br>\u200bKelly will soon head out to North America with the national team alongside fellow Light Blues teammates John Souttar and Findlay Curtis. Knowing his domestic future is entirely resolved will allow him to focus fully on the global showpiece. For Rangers, retaining a reliable, top-tier professional who understands the unique demands and pressure of the club is a massive boost as they look to build a squad capable of mounting a fierce title challenge next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u200bRangers have successfully finalized a two-year contract extension with goalkeeper Liam Kelly, keeping the Scotland international at Ibrox&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[24],"class_list":["post-650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-uncategorized","tag-rangers"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=650"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":652,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650\/revisions\/652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
