Former Spurs star Jermain Defoe unhurt in horror car crash after Rangers beat Aberdeen

Former Tottenham and West Ham United star Jermain Defoe has been involved in a three-car crash in Scotland.

The incident occurred after Rangers' 5-0 win over Aberdeen on Saturday afternoon, with the striker scoring the fifth of those goals.

Defoe was pictured speaking to police near the Clyde Tunnel in Glasgow after the incident.

Rangers confirmed that the 36-year-old Defoe was involved in the crash in a statement on their official Twitter account.

They said: "Rangers FC can confirm there was a collision earlier this evening involving striker Jermain Defoe and we are happy and relieved to say that no one was seriously injured."

Two vehicles including a Range Rover were said to have been left badly damaged as a result of the crash.

An eyewitness told the Scottish Sun: "Defoe and a lady - who looked like she was his girlfriend - were in the Range Rover.

"The BMW M4 sports car was travelling south. It appeared somehow to go through the central reservation and clipped Defoe's car.

"It was absolutely shocking to see. A really awful smash. I thought, 'oh no - someone is bound to be badly hurt here'."

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Police were called to reports of a three-car road traffic collision along Balshagray Avenue at 6.05pm. Officers remain on the scene. There are no injuries.”

Defoe scored 162 Premier League goals in 496 appearances for five different clubs.
