Rangers have snapped up veteran striker Jermain Defoe.
Rangers have made headlines in recent days by confirming a loan deal for Bournemouth striker Jermain Defoe until the summer of 2020.
The Gers went into the January transfer window sitting joint-top of the Scottish Premiership table, having beaten Celtic 1-0 in the Old Firm derby before New Year.
Steven Gerrard therefore wanted major additions to his squad in order to really push for the title this season – and boy has he got them.
Steven Davis has re-joined the club on loan from Southampton, but the biggest deal was struck when Rangers landed striker Defoe from Bournemouth.
The 36-year-old has arrived on loan until the summer of 2020, reuniting with his former England teammate Gerrard in an ambitious move from the Gers.
Defoe is a proven goalscorer and offers a major threat alongside Alfredo Morelos and Kyle Lafferty, with many believing that he could be the edge for Rangers in the title race between now and the end of the season.
Defoe has flown out to Tenerife to join Rangers for their warm-weather training camp, and the club released the first photos of the ex-England international in Rangers training for the first time, with Rangers fans understandably excited about his arrival.
