Rangers have a busy few weeks ahead as not only do they have to bring in new players, but also deal with the futures of those already at Ibrox.

A rebuild is already underway with Danny Rohl making four permanent signings since joining the club last season.

Andreas Skov Olsen, who was signed under the German, will not be at Ibrox next season, with Ryan Naderi, Tochi Chukwuani, Tuur Rommens and Lawrence Shankland all being part of the new-look squad.

Rangers fans react to Liam Kelly signing a two-year contract extension

Rangers announced on Tuesday that the club officials had reached an agreement with Liam Kelly over a new two-year contract.

Kelly’s Ibrox future was in doubt as his deal at the club was set to expire at the end of June.

However, by the end of April, Rangers entered talks over a new contract, and they have offered him a new one until the end of the 2027/28 season.

Should Liam Kelly be the first-choice keeper for Rangers next season?

He has signed a two-year contract extension…

Most Light Blues fans are thrilled with the extension and took to X to voice their opinions about it.

@deanoh24hrs then added: “Good Rangers Man kept in the building. Keeps our Scottish quota as well.”

@AaronRFC_ said: “We are so back.”

@Stevensmith3192 responded to the club’s official announcement, stating: “Good move. He’s well-liked in the squad and one of the core of guys you want who know the club and the expectations, even if he’s not playing regularly.”

@GordonBain needed only two words to express his feelings, writing: “Good news.”

While @Kobewil158661 responded: “Nice, now get rid of Butland.”

How much can Rangers expect from Jack Butland’s sale?

What has Danny Rohl said about Kelly?

Rohl expressed his delight at Kelly deciding to commit his future to the Ibrox outfit for at least two more years.

In his view, the 30-year-old understands what it means to play for the club and will continue to help them achieve their goals.

Rohl said: “We’re thrilled that Liam has signed a contract extension.

“He is a consummate professional who sets a brilliant example in his everyday work. Whether it’s on the pitch, on the training ground or supporting his teammates behind the scenes, his attitude and commitment never waver.

“Liam’s experience and knowledge of this football club are invaluable. He understands exactly what it means to represent the badge, and we’re pleased that he’ll continue to play a key role as we look to achieve our goals.”
