Sevco fans can console themselves tonight with the news that Jermain Defoe is on his way to Ibrox as part of the Steven Gerrard revolution.
The 35-year-old was an England team-mate of Steven Gerrard and is the latest fantasy name linked to Ibrox by those that have no appreciation of the financial problems at Ibrox.
Last summer half of the clubs in the EPL were interested in Defoe who was granted a free transfer due to Sunderland’s relegation to the Championship.
Bournemouth put together a three year contract worth more than £100,000/week which is more than three times the wages of the current highest earners at Ibrox.
Undeterred by that inconvenience Paddy Power have priced Defoe at 12/5 to start next season at Ibrox, no odds are available on him not being a Sevco player.
Daniel Sturridge is another player linked with a move to Ibrox with the bookies in for as big a shock as Gerrard when he discovers the reality of his war-chest.
