Former Tottenham star to pull boots on for Rangers in special tournament as Celtic heroes get battle ready

Rangers and Celtic legends are set to battle it off one night in November this year.

A former Premier League marksman is set to pull on the Rangers shirt again – as Celtic join their rivals in a legends showdown.

 

Having turned out for West Ham, Tottenham, Sunderland and more in his career, Jermain Defoe found another support who adored him at Rangers. He helped the club win the title in 2021 after joining from Bournemouth and is fondly remembered by those at Ibrox.

The former Spurs striker is set to pull the boots back on one more time in the Scottish Masters Football tournament. A Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen and Dundee Utd legends side will face off in a tournament on November 14th from Aberdeen’s P&J Live arena.

In the Celtic corner, legends like Scott Brown and Stiliyan Petrov will be involved. Defoe will be joined by Barry Ferguson, Kris Boyd and others against the likes of Jonny Hayes, Eoin Jess, Craig Conway and John Rankin spread out across the other clubs.
