MISS THE TITLE GOODBYE

Gers must invest in a No.9 they can hang their hat on or they can..

MISS THE TITLE GOODBYE

JERMAIN DEFOE was 42 on Monday.

Cue the social media outpouring from some of his old clubs posting clips of his greatest strikes in their colours. There were plenty to choose from to be fair.

With 305 club goals and another 20 for England thrown in.

Rangers never bothered with a post.

Fair enough. It's not exactly a landmark birthday and Defoe, despite playing his part in a title-winning team four years ago, won't be troubling the Ibrox Hall of Fame.

But it's also maybe just as well the Gers TikTok/Insta/Facebook bods avoided a highlights reel given the form of the man currently entrusted with bulging the net for the club. There are some engagements on social media you really don't want to be encouraging, no matter how good they might be for hits.

Unfortunately for Cyriel Dessers, his recent form has been more "you tube" than YouTube and any videos are more likely to be of his misses than goals.

Which admittedly still sounds unfair for a man who has netted 29 times in 63 games for the club.

But the Nigeria international continues to be an utter mystery.

Brilliant one moment. Brutal the next.
