Liam Kelly

Liam Kelly of Rangers was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 23 January 1996 (age 30).

Liam Kelly is a Scottish goalkeeper, born on 23 January 1996 (age 30), currently with Rangers and wearing squad number 31.

His early senior development was helped by a loan spell at East Fife in 2015-16, where he made 16 league appearances. For a young goalkeeper, that sort of run matters: fewer vague promises, more actual handling of games, mistakes included.

At Rangers in 2025-26, Kelly has not made a league appearance, but he has played twice in the Scottish Cup. His Rangers total stands at two appearances in all competitions.

Kelly’s career has been shaped by early first-team football away from the bigger stage and a later squad role at Rangers. He remains a Scottish goalkeeper with senior experience, though his current league involvement has been limited.

Kelly's senior path took him from Rangers to Livingston, then Queens Park Rangers, Motherwell and back to Rangers. The Motherwell spell stood out in the sequence, with an initial loan from QPR in January 2021 followed by a permanent move that July before his free-transfer return to Ibrox in 2024.
