FORMER Rangers star Jefte has revealed some heartwarming news less than three months after his Ibrox exit.
The 21-year old left Glasgow in the summer to join Brazilian giants Palmeiras in a bumper £6million deal.
Jefte spent just the one season with Rangers having joined from Fluminense in May 2004.
He made 56 appearances in all competitions before moving back to his home country.
Rangers turned a huge profit on Jefte, with the £6m fee the club sold him for absolutely dwarfing the £680,000 sum the Ibrox club had paid to land the left-back.
He’s been featuring regularly back in the top tier of Brazilian football since his move.
