Barry Ferguson has stressed the importance of keeping Steven Davis at Rangers.
The Northern Ireland international has been ruled out for the rest of the season through injury in a major blow to boss Michael Beale. He was set for a key role under the new gaffer for the second part of the campaign but will now watch on from the sidelines. The 37-year-old is out of contract in the summer and Ibrox hero Ferguson reckons he deserves a new deal for next term.
The former Rangers skipper has hailed the veteran as a brilliant professional and player as he heaped praise on the 'top quality' midfielder. He knows his old club need plenty of additions to fix issues within the squad but says guys of Davis' quality don't come around often and it is KEY to keep him on the books. Speaking on Go Radio, he said: "First and foremost I am gutted for him. He's a top quality professional and player.
