Defoe, who enjoyed a successful spell at Rangers between 2019 and 2021, was a key figure in the team’s 2020-21 Scottish Premiership title win, helping to end Celtic’s nine-year league dominance. The veteran striker, now retired from playing, is keen to rejoin the club in a coaching or ambassadorial role.
In a recent interview, Defoe revealed that he still has a strong connection to the club and the city of Glasgow. “Rangers will always hold a special place in my heart. The fans, the atmosphere, and the pride of wearing that jersey—it was an incredible experience,” he said. “If there’s ever an opportunity to return and help in any way, I’d be more than happy to do so.”
Defoe’s comments have excited Rangers supporters, many of whom remember his leadership and professionalism during his time at Ibrox. Though there has been no official confirmation from the club regarding a specific role, Defoe’s return could be seen as a boost to Rangers’ coaching staff, providing valuable experience and insight to the club’s strikers and young talent.
