as saying that Liam Kelly has a big decision to make in regards to his future, amid reported interest from Celtic.
The 23-year-old stopper has been in excellent form this season, since joining Livi from Rangers last summer. He has conceded just 42 goals in 41 games, keeping a huge 17 clean sheets for Holt’s side.
a whole host of sides are after Kelly, because a clause in his current deal means he is allowed to leave for just £50,000. Hamburg, Reading, Barnsley, Ipswich and Wigan Athletic.
Livi manager Holt has responded when asked about Kelly’s future at the Tony Macaroni Stadium, and also revealed that his side are in talks to keep the goalkeeper – who left Rangers last summer after joining the club as a 10-year-old.
“We are prepared to lose everybody,” “If you are playing at this level and showcasing your talents and getting recognition, then any club will come calling.
“So we will wait and see. He is under contract, the club are talking to him regarding a new one, and we will see how it plays out. But players will leave, that’s part and parcel of the game, so I’m not really that concerned by it.”
TBR’s view
Celtic need a goalkeeper, with Craig Gordon now past it and Dorus de Vries expected to leave the club this summer. Kelly is an excellent stopper, but you get the feeling he needs momentum and game time.
The report does state that he does not want to be a back-up goalkeeper. At Celtic, he would be just that.
For a Rangers fan and a player to have played for the Gers since he was 10, it would surely prevent him from moving to Celtic. At £50,000 though, Livi have to land him on a new contract as soon as possible.
