Celtic are reportedly interested in Liam Kelly, who is now set to be on the move this summer.
Livingston have confirmed on their official website that Liam Kelly has triggered a transfer release clause within his contract and will now leave the club – in news that may be of interest to Celtic boss Neil Lennon.
Kelly was one of the most impressive performers outside of the Old Firm in the Scottish Premiership this past season. The 23-year-old kept two clean sheets against the Hoops during the campaign, while he also helped Livi to a 1-0 win against Rangers.
The Scottish Sun reported in May that Celtic were one of the teams interested in signing Kelly this summer with his future with Livingston in some doubt. So it will be interesting to see what the Bhoys make of the latest developments.
Livingston have confirmed on their official website that Kelly is leaving this summer. Interestingly, they also suggest that a number of Championship sides in England are keen on the stopper.
Celtic may have clinched another domestic Treble this past season, but Lennon may be tempted to freshen up his options between the sticks with both Dorus De Vries and Craig Gordon coming towards the end of their careers.
Scott Bain has been a solid number one since arriving at Parkhead. But there were a couple of concerning moments towards the end of the season which should perhaps leave Lennon wondering whether he needs to sign a player who could immediately become the new number one or has the potential to step up to that level in the near future.
If he feels that Kelly is the man to fill that void, then Celtic have received a big boost in their pursuit.
