He may be 37 now but Jermain Defoe still knows where the back of the net is.
The Rangers striker is scoring on average every 45 minutes in the Scottish Premiership, having netted 10 times despite spending only 453 minutes on the pitch.
Defoe's strike against Motherwell at the weekend took him to 10 goals in just eight games in the league and that record makes him one of Europe's deadliest strikers.
That strike rate equates to 1.29 goals per game, a ratio only Bayern Munich superstar Robert Lewandowski can top with 13 goals in nine Bundesliga appearances - 1.44 goals per game.
Highly-rated RB Salzburg youngster Erling Braut Haaland has 12 in 10 for a rate of 1.20 per game, followed by Luis Muriel of Atalanta and Lazio star Ciro Immobile with 1.14 and 1.11 goals per game respectively.
While Defoe isn't playing in the Bundesliga or Serie A, he also features a lot less than the other players on the list as he alternates with Alfredo Morelos .
Of the players on the list only Muriel can beat Defoe's minutes-per-goal ratio with an average of one every 42 minutes.
