Celtic are keen to bring Liam Kelly to Parkhead but only as a back-up option to their current goalkeepers.

According to the Scottish Sun, Celtic are keen to snap up Livingston goalkeeper Liam Kelly, although they feel the transfer is unlikely.

Kelly has been one of the standout stoppers in Scotland this season, and Celtic are ready to pounce in a cut price deal.

Kelly’s contract at Livi means he can leave for just £50,000 this summer, and Celtic feel he could be a potential bargain.

However, the Bhoys don’t feel as if the 23-year-old will want a move to Parkhead to sit on the substitutes’ bench.

Celtic already have Scott Bain and Craig Gordon competing for the number one shirt, so Kelly would only be brought in as a back-up option.

Kelly is now used to playing regular first-team football, and Celtic believe that he wouldn’t want to be used as a reserve, even though they would like him at Parkhead.

Celtic signing Kelly would be made all the more controversial as he used to play for Rangers.
