Liam Kelly

Liam Kelly of Rangers was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 23 January 1996 (age 30).

Liam Kelly, born on 23 January 1996 (age 30), is a Scottish goalkeeper on the books at Rangers, wearing squad number 31.

His early development was given a useful push by a loan spell at East Fife in 2015-16. He made 16 league appearances that season, the kind of run that matters for a young goalkeeper more than any tidy line on a career record.

At Rangers in 2025-26, Kelly has not made a league appearance, though he has played twice in the Scottish Cup. Across all competitions for the club, he has two appearances and no goals, which is generally how goalkeepers prefer that column to look.

Kelly’s career to this point has been shaped by early first-team minutes away from the main stage and a current role in the Rangers squad where league involvement has been limited.
