Steven Davis might not kick another ball for Rangers after being ruled out for the season with a serious knee injury while in possession of a contract that expires in the summer.
But Michael Beale isn’t betting on it. Not when he sees the massive influence the Northern Ireland captain has on his dressing room even when hobbling around on crutches after surgery. The Rangers manager hasn’t ruled out extending the 38-year-old’s time at Ibrox, even if game time were to be limited next term AND if Davis wants to prolong his career, maybe by combining playing and coaching.
Beale knows a thing or two about that and when he says he regards the midfielder as an extension of himself in terms of his ability to communicate and educate those around him, you get the impression these may not be the dying months of Davis’ Rangers career. Beale said: “He’s back in the training ground. He’s had the op and he’s in and around the lads. I saw that glint in his eye.
