Derek McInnes’ well-drilled Dons have been a thorn in the Light Blues’ side all season, having also ended their Betfred Cup bid.Rookie manager Gerrard arrived in May last year promising to make the Ibrox faithful happy, but with his side also eight points adrift of Ladbrokes Premiership leaders Celtic, he now admits he will face scrutiny over his performance as boss.But Defoe has seen enough in the two months since he joined the club on loan from Bournemouth to leave him convinced that exciting times lie ahead. The 36-year-old said: “Fans are going to be frustrated, just like the players. This is a massive football club and when you’re playing for a big football club, there’s big demands.“You have to play well every game. The fans expect you to win, expect you to progress in these kinds of tournaments.“But, I think in the short space of time I’ve been here, watching other games on TV and stuff like that, I wouldn’t want to be in other dressing rooms.“I think if you look at the quality we’ve got in the dressing room, the international players we’ve got, it’s a time for the football club to be excited.“The fans should be excited.

“Yes, it’s a disappointment after the Aberdeen defeat, but I just think it can take time for things to build.“You can get the best players in the world and put them together. But it’s not going to become an unbelievable team overnight. Sometimes it takes time.“And you’ve seen that with the best teams and best players.“But if I was a Rangers fan, watching the games on the terraces with a season ticket, I’d definitely be excited. It’s a club and a team definitely going places.”The early signs of Gerrard’s reign looked so promising as he steered his side through four qualifying rounds to seal a place in the Europa League group stages.Gerrard’s side are second in the league3

And while McInnes’ team have had the upper hand in cup competitions, Gerrard is on course to re-establish Rangers as the country’s second force having built up an eight-point lead over the third-placed Dons in the table.Defoe admits transforming Rangers into a side capable of lifting cups and titles will be a longer-term project.“Of course it’s a building process,” he said. “It doesn’t matter who the manager is. Obviously the manager is a winner. Look at his playing career and everything he’s won – he’s a winner.Defoe has scored five goals in eight league games for Rangers3

“You can imagine how he feels after the Aberdeen defeat.

Not just the manager, but the staff and everyone.“It’s going to take time but I’m confident we’re definitely moving forward. It’s just a massive disappointment losing to Aberdeen.”

Reports have suggested Abramovich is losing interest in Chelsea
Buck’s comments come following reports claiming Abramovich may be looking to sell Chelsea.He is understood to have not attended any Chelsea games since May 2018, when he was denied a visa, while Abramovich reportedly hired New York bank Raine Group last summer in preparation of the club’s sale.Abramovich also put plans to redevelop Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium on hold amid his visa troubles, leading to suggestions he is no longer willing to invest in the club. Britain’s richest man, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, was alleged to hold interest in Chelsea when the sale reports originally surfaced, and last month he was claimed to still be keen on the Blues.Ratcliffe in March completed a takeover of Team Sky, with the cycling team renamed Team Ineos after the company he founded which made him a multi-billionaire.
