Kilmarnock have signed goalkeeper Robby McCrorie from Rangers for an undisclosed fee.

Manager Derek McInnes has brought in the Ayrshire-born Scotland squad goalkeeper after Will Dennis returned to Bournemouth following his loan spell.

The 26-year-old played just five times for the Ibrox side, spending time out on loan at Livingston, Queen of the South, Greenock Morton and Berwick Rangers over the past seven years.

Rangers have re-signed his former academy team-mate Liam Kelly from Motherwell this summer and he will compete with established number one Jack Butland.

The move to Rugby Park should secure increased game time for the former Scotland Under-21 goalkeeper, who has signed a two-year contract.

McCrorie has appeared at every age-group level for Scotland, ranging from the Under-15s up to the Under-21s.

His arrival follows that of 25-year-old forward Bruce Anderson from relegated Livingston.

Kilmarnock will play in the Europa League next season after finishing fourth in the Scottish Premiership.
