Even Celtic fans have admitted that they are impressed with Glasgow Rangers signing Jermain Defoe.

BBC Sport have reported how Defoe is set to put pen to paper on a move to Ibrox in the near future, with Steven Gerrard making his first addition of the January transfer window.

Defoe is set to join Rangers on an 18-month loan, and it is an addition which has really raised eye-brows.

Defoe remains one of the finest finishers in the Premier League, despite failing to get much game time at Bournemouth.

And Celtic fans have admitted that their Glasgow rivals have done well to bring in player of such calibre.

Celtic are currently in a battle with Rangers for the league title, with Gerrard’s side managing to put some pressure on their local rivals for the first time in years.

Rangers beat Celtic in the most recent Old-Firm derby to draw level with them at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, and Defoe’s impending arrival only serves to increase optimism further around Ibrox.
