Liam Kelly, once of Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers, secured a decent transfer on Friday.

Rangers might be regretting the decision to sell Liam Kelly at the moment.

The 23-year-old was sold to Livingston last summer but a brilliant first season with the Scottish Premiership club has resulted in him being snapped up by former boss Mark Warburton at QPR.

Kelly began his career at Rangers and given that Steven Gerrard might be in the market for a new goalkeeper this summer, perhaps the youngster, who received his first Scotland call-up, should’ve been convinced to stay in Glasgow.

He sealed his move to the London club on Friday, and here’s how former Gers team-mate Sean Goss and lifelong Ibrox fan Oli McBurnie reacted to the transfer on Twitter:

This is a truly fantastic move for the young keeper and it goes to show that fortune favours the brave.

Leaving Rangers for Livingston was a courageous move, but one that has proven to be very smart.

With Allan McGregor impressing last season on his return to Auchenhowie, Kelly wouldn’t have had a sniff of first-team football under Gerrard and therefore is completely justified in his decision to leave.

Thing is, McGregor turns 38 in January and with Wes Foderingham’s future up in the air, what an option Kelly could’ve been for the light Blues now.
