The Queens Park Rangers manager knows Kelly from his time in charge of Glasgow namesakes, Rangers FC.
The former Rangers goalkeeper, Liam Kelly, could reunite with his one-time Ibrox manager, Mark Warburton, after triggering a release clause in his contract.
According to The Daily Record, Kelly’s decision ‘paves the way’ for a transfer to the English Championship, where Warburton’s Queens Park Rangers among those keen on signing the Livingston man.
But the newspaper claims it will still cost £50,000 to prise Kelly away from Almondvale, where he is half-way through a two-year contract.
Warburton, who was appointed QPR boss last month, was in charge as the 23-year-old rose through the ranks at Rangers.
But Kelly failed to make a competitive appearance under any Ibrox manager and left at the end of his deal last summer.
A return to Livingston, where the Rangers academy product had previously played on loan, appears to have revived his career and led to a Scotland call-up for June’s internationals.
Should he move to Loftus Road, Kelly is likely to compete with Joe Lumley and Matt Ingram to be QPR number one.
Would the former Rangers goalkeeper be a good addition for Warburton’s QPR?
