Steven Gerrard says Rangers couldn’t have signed Jermaine Defoe without Eddie Howe’s help

Legendary English Premier League striker Jermaine Defoe recently put pen to paper for an 18-month loan deal with Rangers Glasgow, and many are tipping the Ibrox side to give Celtic a run for the money as a result.

The former Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland goalmachine was surplus to requirements at Bournemouth, but Light Blues manager Steven Gerrard reckons he still has enough firepower left in his tank, even at 36 years old.

It remains to be seen if Defoe will choose to see out the rest of his playing days at Rangers, or if an unlikely return to the Cherries is on the cards.
