The same goes for its willingness to give another chance to those regarded elsewhere as beyond their best. Rangers demonstrated earlier in the season their willingness to give ageing players an Indian summer with the signing of then 38-year-old Gareth McAuley, and have followed that up by bringing in Jermain Defoe (36) and Steven Davis (34).
No club in Scotland would have got near Defoe in his prime but, having found football hard to come by in Bournemouth, the striker has traipsed north to compose a coda to an already impressive career. Rangers will be hoping he still has some of that Premier League stardust to sprinkle.
