Stephen Kelly wanted for Rangers transfer exit as rising midfielder has suitors in England

Rangers midfielder Stephen Kelly is on the January wanted list of a number of Scottish and English clubs.

The youngster impressed during the week for Scotland Under-21s against Belgium.

There was strong interest in the 21-year-old in the last window and a number of clubs were at Tannadice to watch him for the young Scots earlier this week.

Kelly has only made a handful of top team appearances, against Dunfermline in the Premier Sports Cup and against Alashkert in the Europa League.

Rangers decided that they wanted Kelly to remain as part of Steven Gerrard’s first-team at the start of the season.

Gerrard has now departed and is set to be replaced by Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

It remains to be seen what the change of manager will mean for Kelly.

Clubs will now ask the question coming into the next transfer window.

Kelly had a successful loan spell at Ross County and helped them remain in the Premiership last season.

The home-grown talent has also had a first loan out at Ayr United two seasons ago.
