Glasgow Rangers striker Jermain Defoe could play a key role for the Ibrox club next season, according to Premier League legend Les Ferdinand. Celtic will be aiming to win ten titles in a row next season, and Rangers must do everything to stop them. Defoe will turn 38 in October, but Ferdinand believes the former Tottenham Hotspur striker will still continue to score goals that will halt Celtic’s march towards their tenth title in a row. According to reports from The Scottish Sun, Alfredo Morelos is almost certain to move on this summer. In that case, Defoe is set to spearhead the Gers attack. Ferdinand says that Rangers need people who can score important goals in big games, and Defoe certainly can provide that. In 2019-20, Defoe played mainly as a back-up to Morelos. However, he...
Glasgow Rangers are close to signing Ianis Hagi on a permanent deal but the Ibrox club are ‘yet to make a decision’ on Florian Kamberi. According to reports from the Daily Record, the Gers have not decided whether to sign Kamberi on a permanent deal from Hibernian. Rangers signed Kamberi on loan in January, and the 25-year-old striker has impressed for Steven Gerrard’s side.

It remains to be seen whether Rangers agree to keep him on a ...
Glasgow Rangers finished second in the 2019-20 SPFL behind Celtic after the season was canceled due to the ongoing global health crisis. The Ibrox club were 13 points behind Celtic at the top when football in Scotland was stopped. Rangers felt aggrieved as Celtic were decided champions despite so many games left to be played. However, according to former Celtic striker and club legend Chris Sutton, the Light Blues could’ve been more than 20 points behind if all 38 games were played. As a result, Celtic have now won the Scottish Premiership nine times in a row. Sutton feels that it was getting embarrassing for the Gers as the gap between the clubs could’ve grown. “The best team won, winning 26 out of 30 games is absolutely phenomenal. The gap was so big,” said Sutton. “When you look at...

Former Ibrox hero Kris Boyd has suggested that Glasgow Rangers should move for Norwich City midfielder Kenny McLean in the summer transfer window. The Gers finished second in the 2019-20 season after the league was called off due to the global health crisis. Celtic became the SPFL champions for the ninth time in a row. The popular Sky Sports pundit feels that Rangers need to add extra bit of quality to prevent Celtic from winning ten league titles in a row. Boyd believes that Steven Gerrard’s side should make an attempt to persuade Norwich to part with McLean in the summer transfer window. Norwich are in real danger of getting relegated from the Premier League this season, and the Canaries are expected to lose some of their key players. Boyd wrote in The Scottish Sun: “Maybe ther...
Glasgow Rangers are interested in bringing former Premier League player Saido Berahino to Ibrox in the summer transfer window. However, the Gers are likely to face strong competition from arch-rivals Celtic. According to reports from Teamtalk, both Celtic and Rangers are weighing up a move to sign the Zulte Waregem attacker this summer. The report claims that both the clubs had scouted the attacking midfielder before the suspension of football due to the global health crisis. The 26-year-old attacker showed a lot of promise when he first broke into the team. But his bad attitude – arrested for drunk-driving twice and agitating transfer move to Tottenham in 2015 – has had a bad effect on his career in England. Berahino scored 20 goals in 2014-15 but he failed to fulfil his po...
