Steven Gerrard comments on Rangers striker Jermain Defoe

Glasgow Rangers bounced back from their Old Firm defeat to seal a commanding 3-0 victory against Hearts in the Scottish Premiership clash at Ibrox on Wednesday night.

Jermain Defoe, who joined the Gers in the January transfer window, scored in the 16th minute to put Rangers ahead. Five minutes later, Connor Goldson made it 2-0 with a header. Scott Arfield added the third after Zdenek Zlamal saved a Defoe effort in the 48th minute.

After the match, Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has hailed Defoe as a ‘top professional’, and admitted Alfredo Morelos may find it difficult to get his spot back in the side.
