Glasgow Rangers are set to sign Jermain Defoe.

Jermain Defoe is set to clinch a move to Rangers after a deal was agreed.

BBC Sport report a 18 month loan deal has been agreed with Bournemouth for Defoe to sign with Rangers.

It could be a significant signing for Rangers as they look to win their first title since returning to the Premiership.

Former Rangers defender Graham Roberts reacted on Twitter to express his excitement at the deal.

Roberts played for Rangers 55 times between 1986 and 1988.

He had a long association with Tottenham and is an ambassador for the club. As a result he knows just how good Jermain Defoe can be.

Defoe is Tottenham’s all time leading scorer in European competitions, and while he hit a brick wall in his latest spell at Bournemouth, he should be a major asset for Rangers as they look to take back control of Scottish football.
