Coronavirus: Football must take back seat now – Defoe

149

Rangers’ striker Jermain Defoe insists football has to take a back seat as Scotland deals with the coronavirus pandemic.

The game has been suspended since March 13 due to the health crisis, with no firm date set for its return.

And at 37 years of age, Defoe knows time is not on his side in regards to the rest of his career but he stressed that football has become unimportant amid a rising death tally due to the virus.

“To be honest, there are more important things happening in the world than football,” he told TalkSport.
