Jermain Defoe 'is poised to leave his player-coach role at Rangers' just weeks after his former England team-mate Steven Gerrard departed to become Aston Villa manager.
The 39-year-old striker has been at Ibrox since January 2019 and signed a one-year contract extension last summer which included a provision for him to join the club's coaching staff.
Accordingly, Defoe has made only two Scottish Premiership appearances so far this season, both as a late substitute and amounting to only a few minutes of action.
