The former Light Blues striker also admitted he'd jump at the chance to return to Ibrox as a coach
Jermain Defoe insists the need for change at Rangers is OBVIOUS as he admits it's been tough watching his former club this season.
"If you speak to any Rangers fan or ex-players, and if we’re being totally honest, it’s been hard watching it," he told Gambling.com. "We won the league when I had the player-coach role, and then after I left the boys came so close to winning the Europa League. I looked at it and thought they would kick on the next season, if they kept the core of good young players and experience, and possibly add a few more.
"I feel like it's obvious that something needs to change. The players need to try and find their form. The players need to find some sort of consistency. There are games up there that people expect them to win, and you can slip-up if you don’t approach with the right frame of mind, and that’s what happened last season. You look at the points that Rangers dropped last season, and they're games that you would expect them to win convincingly to be honest.
