Rangers transfer news: Aberdeen’s Connor Barron and Motherwell’s Liam Kelly poised for Ibrox move

Connor Barron made 42 appearances for childhood club Aberdeen last season, but his contract expires this summer; Liam Kelly will also be a free agent and is poised to leave Motherwell. Rangers close on signings for duo as Philippe Clement reshapes the squad.

Rangers are closing in on signing midfielder Connor Barron and goalkeeper Liam Kelly.

Barron’s contract at Aberdeen expires this summer, and he has been linked with clubs in England and Italy.

However, after talks, Rangers are expected to win the fight for the 21-year-old, who played 42 games for Aberdeen last season.

Kelly is expected to become manager Philippe Clement’s fourth signing of the summer, following the additions of Jefte, Oscar Cortes, and Clinton Nsiala.

Kelly, who is out of contract at Motherwell, is representing Scotland at the Euros and is set to transfer to Ibrox, creating competition for No. 1 Jack Butland.

Last season, the 28-year-old made 43 appearances for Motherwell, which he joined from QPR three years ago.
