da bet nacional： Connor Goldson believes Rangers can launch a major assault on the Scottish Premiership table after the double signing of Jermain Defoe and Steven Davis. The club are currently level on points with Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic at the top of the table.
What’s the word?
Rangers made a major double signing this month, acquiring two experienced campaigners to bolster their title charge.
Defoe is a brilliant striker who still holds the ability to score at the highest level, despite falling behind the likes of Callum Wilson and Joshua King in the Bournemouth pecking order.
He was prolific in MLS, and could also start hitting the back of the net with regularity north of the border.
Davis, meanwhile, knows Rangers inside out and is a proven winner, having picked up three SPL titles during his two previous spells with the club, as well as two Scottish Cups and three Scottish League Cups.
Gerrard has pulled off something of a masterstroke, according to Goldson, who told the Evening Times: “It’s a lift. It just adds to the squad. It brings a good amount of experience.
“It brings people who have been at the highest level and done it and aren’t going to get afraid if we are up there in a title race.
“The good teams always improve and so far the gaffer has gone about doing that in the transfer window.
“The one thing I will say is that the size of this club deserves to have players like that playing for them. We deserve to attract those kind of players because the club is huge.

“You don’t understand it when you are in England, but this club deserves to have the best available players to help them try and win things because it’s been a long time since we have. That’s something that we need to aim for.
“We need to go as far as we can in the league, try and win as many games as possible. We have got the cup coming up, and we need to go as far as we can in that.”
Rangers still a massive club
Rangers have suffered a fair bit in recent years, obviously falling down the leagues and having to claw their way back to the top table of Scottish football.
With Gerrard at the helm, they have shown that they hold the ability to still mix it with Celtic, having previously traded titles with their bitter rivals.
And Defoe and Davis bring experience, know-how and genuine footballing ability, and Goldson is right; Rangers need to be fighting on more than one front.
Should they lift the title come the end of the season, it would see Rangers restored to a level that was previously thought beyond them, and Defoe and Davis could play a massive part in that.
