Defoe signed for the Scottish side on loan from Bournemouth in January 2019.
The 37-year-old has notched 25 goals and eight assists in 52 games since his arrival and the move will be made permanent this summer.
Defoe has also played for Sunderland, Portsmouth, and Toronto FC in his career but that did not take away from his excitement at signing for Rangers.
The video shows him walking down the tunnel, ducking under a barrier and gazing around at the empty stands.
Before he walked back inside, Defoe was seen kissing the turf for “luck”.
He posted the video on Twitter alongside a caption that read: “So this was day after I signed..
“I just couldn’t wait to see Ibrox so I decided to just turn up and asked security if I could see the pitch! A little kiss for good luck 💙.”
It recently emerged that Defoe HAS to get a short haircut before games to prevent injury.
