Rangers push for additional signings with transfer updates on Liam Kelly and Connor Barron at Ibrox.

According to Sky Sports, Liam Kelly is poised to become the Rangers’ fourth signing this summer.

The broadcaster said on their website late on June 18 that the out-of-contract Motherwell goalkeeper is “likely” to be added next, following Jefte, Oscar Cortes, and Clinton Nsiala.

Connor Barron is also close to joining after leaving Aberdeen on a free transfer, as Philippe Clement’s transfer business appears to take another step ahead.

 

The Scottish midfielder received offers from England and Italy, but now appears to be on his way to Ibrox.

The transfer window may have only recently started, but after a fast start to the summer, it appeared that action had slowed for the Light Blues, with negotiations and interest suddenly becoming bogged down.

So nearing the expected move to add Liam Kelly as the presumed replacement for Robby McCrorie, who is expected to leave after rejecting a contract extension, is a boost.

He had signed a small extension to his Fir Park contract to secure his former club a UEFA payment for involvement in the Euros with Scotland [Daily Record, 8 June] but appears to be next in at Ibrox.

But apparently winning the race to snap up Barron is even more so, as he was sought after by various clubs, with the likes of Middlesbrough and Swansea interested [Scottish Sun, 12 June].

The departures of John Lundstram, who is already poised to join for Trabzonspor [Scottish Sun, 18 June], and Ryan Jack from Clement’s midfield make replenishing a priority, and in Barron, the club would gain a talented player with Scottish Premiership experience for a low sum.

Unless Rangers and Aberdeen can agree a fee the Dons will have to wait on a tribunal decision to find out how much it is, with the roughly £500,000 fee they would have been due if he had chosen to go abroad apparently missed out on. In other Rangers news, the club are set to take action on a major Ibrox issue which has infuriated the manager.
