Gus Poyet's admiration of Rangers' Steven Davis revealed as he explains 'huge respect' for veteran

Rangers midfielder Steven Davis has been handed the ultimate compliment by Gus Poyet ahead of Northern Ireland's clash with Greece.

The duo go head to head later tonight in the final round of Nations League fixtures with the hosts already guaranteed top spot in League C Group 2 while Ian Baraclough's men will be aiming to avoid dropping down to League D. Light Blues star Davis is in line to earn his 140th international cap for his country in a remarkable feat.

Greece boss Poyet only managed 29 caps for his own national team during his playing career and says he has 'huge respect' for players who turn out that many times for their national team at any level. He has also hailed the 37-year-old for the way he manages and controls the tempo of games ahead of the showdown.
