A proven goal-scorer in his time in English football, Jermain Defoe continues to defy age with his performances. The 37-year-old struck 163 goals in the Premier League in his time at various different clubs, and appears to have lost none of his finishing touch since moving north of the border to play for Rangers.

The former Tottenham man signed for the Ibrox side on an 18-month loan earlier this year from Bournemouth, and has shown Steven Gerrard why he remains a vital part of their first-team squad. Already this season, the veteran has found the back of the net 13 times in 24 games across all competitions, and he didn’t miss out in the resounding 3-0 triumph over Hibernian on Friday night either.

The 5 foot 7 man struck Rangers’ third of the night, and fans took to Twitter to hail the 37-year-old’s goal-scoring display, with a couple of supporters pointing out how Defoe’s age simply doesn’t matter.
Many Rangers fans lauded the striker’s ruthless streak inside the penalty area, and hailed his fine strike to make it 3-0.
A couple of supporters of the Ibrox side also hailed his professionalism, and that it showed his character that he can just come into the side and perform like that.
At 37, Defoe is no doubt in the twilight stages of his footballing career. But if he continues to score on a regular basis like he has done all season, then Gerrard will surely be hoping he puts off any plans of a potential retirement.
Meanwhile, Rangers fans react to this ace’s display against Motherwell.
