Opinion: Jermain Defoe reveals former team-mates tell him they want to join Rangers and Gerrard should sign some to beat Celtic to Scottish Premiership title

Stopping Celtic from winning the Scottish Premiership next season is without a doubt top of the plans of Rangers boss Steven Gerrard. The Light Blues finished nine points behind the Hoops last season as Neil Lennon’s side secured their eighth consecutive title and 50th overall.

Celtic also won the Scottish League Cup and Scottish Cup, making it three domestic trebles in a row, and Rangers do have a lot of work to do in 2019-2020. However, English striker Jermain Defoe might have handed Gerrard the winning formula needed to stop Celtic dead in their tracks.

“I’ve had a lot of my ex team-mates message me saying they want to come here too,” the former Tottenham Hotspur striker told The Scottish Sun.
