Liam Kelly contract proves Danny Rohl is starting to get things right at Rangers
Liam Kelly is on the verge of signing a new contract at Rangers.
Danny Rohl looks set to keep the 30-year-old goalkeeper at Ibrox for the foreseeable future, which is a positive step.
The Scottish star’s contract was set to expire at the season, but it looks like he has agreed to fresh terms with the Govan side.
He was understood to be in talks with the Light Blues, and now it seems like there has been a breakthrough in negotiations.
Kelly is not a starter for Rangers, but keeping him around is still an important task.

The latest breaking news on signings, departures, and Danny Röhl’s primary targets.
What is the latest on Kelly’s contract
It seemed like a matter of time before Rangers announced a new deal for Kelly, and that looks to be the case.
A report from Fabrizio Romano on 21 May claimed that Kelly has agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Gers.
It states that it is all done, and he is ready to stay with the G51 side.
Why Rohl has gotten in right with Kelly extension
The latest contract update that Kelly is on the verge of signing on for another two years shows that Rohl is starting to get things right in Govan.
The manager has been heavily criticised for a poor run of results, which saw the Gers lose four games after the split and fall away from title contention.
However, the 49ers and Andrew Cavenagh have reaffirmed their commitment to the German boss, but there is still pressure on him heading into the new season.
The manager and the ownership want to build a Scottish core who know what it means to play for the Gers, and keeping Kelly around helps to do this, therefore, it is the right move.
In the event that Jack Butland is moved on, he has already proven that he has what it takes to be the number one option for the Bears.
If they sign a new goalkeeper, then the two-cap international will still be able to share his experience and knowledge of the club behind the scenes.
No matter what their plans for the position, keeping him on their books, rather than letting him leave, is the right move for all parties.
