# Glasgow Rangers: Fans wax lyrical over club post about Jermain Defoe

**Glasgow Rangers will be looking to outsmart Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership next season.**

The Hoops finished the season [13 points clear](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52646282) of Steven Gerrard’s side, after [the SPFL](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52646282) decided that the top four divisions were not allowed to continue as it was no longer safe to do so, bringing the campaign to a premature end last month.

Gerrard has already made the first moves ahead of a busy summer as the Ibrox club have signed the likes of [Ianis Hagi](https://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/rangers-sign-ianis-hagi/), [Charlie Lindsay](https://rangers.co.uk/news/academy-news/rangers-sign-charlie-lindsay/) and [Calvin Bassey](https://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/rangers-sign-calvin-bassey/).

However, the ‘Gers are well aware success isn’t just about the short-term – they must plan for the future as well.

Last week, the 54-times Scottish champions unveiled the launch of the [Rangers Online Academy](https://rangers.co.uk/news/club/rangers-online-academy-launched/), which will provide fans with exclusive footage of coaching sessions with the club’s top coaches.

Veteran striker Jermain Defoe shared [‘unbelievable’ insight](https://twitter.com/RFC_Youth/status/1270447874183245832) into the life of a professional footballer during the latest session on Tuesday, which was attended by over 300 players, parents and coaches.

Defoe scored [13 goals in 20 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jermain-defoe/profil/spieler/3875) in the Premiership for the Light Blues in the season just gone and it is fair to say his appearance went down rather well with the fan base.

Indeed, many RFC fans gushed over the forward’s “masterclass” on social media, with one supporter tweeting the seminar was “brilliant,” and another dubbing the lesson “superb.”

Scroll through some of the glowing reactions so far…
