What a hero, so glad we had his presence at Ibrox and he was part of 55. It must have been so good for all the young players to have him around to learn from. Absolute gentleman.

[@drewhill1102]

What a top guy on and off the park, was a joy to see him at Ibrox. Delighted he was able to get his hands in a league winners medal with 55.

ONE OF THE 55 IMMORTALS Love this man and I wish we offered him a coach role at Rangers because Defoe is probably one of the 1st picks if your looking for someone to teach youth how to strike a ball. Once a ger always a ger! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔵⚪️🔴🇬🇧👑

To be fair pal was he not player/manager when Stevie g left for villa when we played hibs in the semi and got beat? That one hurt
