Rangers have boosted their Scottish Premiership title chances with the high-profile loan signing of Jermain Defoe from Bournemouth.
The former England striker, a scorer of 162 Premier League goals, has moved to Ibrox on an 18-month deal.
The signing of the 36-year-old is a huge boost for Steven Gerrard’s men, who for the first time in a number of years are in a legitimate title tussle.

Locked level on points with Celtic, Rangers are in with a real chance and Gerrard described Defoe’s signing as “a great addition to our dressing room”.
Defoe has scored goals wherever he has played, 273 of them in a club career taking in the likes of West Ham, Tottenham, Sunderland and Portsmouth. “I’m delighted to be able to welcome Jermain to Rangers.
He is an exceptionally talented striker and vastly experienced footballer who has scored goals at every club he has played for,” Gerrard said. “We look forward to integrating him into the squad whilst we work in Tenerife over the next week.”
