Jermain Defoe is set to pull on the Rangers jersey one more time as part of a star-studded Ibrox heroes XI that will face a legends team.
A Rangers Legends side meet a World XI outfit captained by Robin Van Persie on March 26th 2023 after a successful first Weekend of Legends earlier this year. Defoe retired from football in March after a short stint at Sunderland but he is held in high regard by the Light Blues after helping them win the Premiership title in 2021, now a club ambassador and academy coach at former club Tottenham.
Barry Ferguson will captain the Rangers heroes squad which will also include Sasa Papac, Kris Boyd and Michael Mols. Robbie Fowler will line up alongside Dutch legend Van Persie while Jaap Staam, Joe Cole, Michael Essien plus many more form the big name opposition at Ibrox. Defoe said: “I’m really looking forward to getting my boots back on and running back out in front of the Rangers fans. I can’t wait to see you all again.”
