HISTORY tells you Stephen Kelly wasn’t the first - and certainly won’t be the last - to decide his future lay away from one of Scotland’s big two.
In what has become one of the league’s most well-trodden paths, there he was, a midfielder of some talent and reputation, too good for the Rangers B team, but not quite good enough - at least in the eyes of Giovanni van Bronckhorst - to displace Steven Davis, John Lundstram or even Scott Arfield.
Given the athleticism and industry he showed in his first Livingston start on Saturday, some might wonder how wise that judgement was. Not that anyone in West Lothian will be complaining.
