Defoe joined Rangers on an 18-month loan deal from Premier League club Bournemouth in the January transfer window.
The 36-year-old is a proven goalscorer in England, having been a success at the likes of West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland.
The English striker has admitted that he has been surprised at how passionate the Rangers fans are.
Defoe told The Scottish Sun: “Of course I know what success would mean to the fans. Even before the game the other day, we turned up at the ground to get on the bus and all the fans were there.
“I remember saying to one of the lads ‘It’s unbelievable. Can you imagine what it would be like if we actually win the league?’
“It is an unbelievable support and something that surprised me. We are lucky as players to have that support.”
Stats
Defoe has made five starts and six substitute appearances in the Scottish Premiership for Rangers so far this season, scoring six goals in the process, according to WhoScored.
Rangers are second in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 63 points from 32 matches, as many as 13 points behind leaders and bitter Old Firm rivals Celtic.
The Gers are pretty much guaranteed not to win the Scottish Premiership title this season, but they can certainly clinch the second spot in the standings.
