Steven Davis admits Rangers 'realism' over injury woe but Ibrox hero hell-bent on going out on his terms

Injured Ibrox ace Steven Davis admits he needs to be realistic about his prospects of mounting a Rangers return.

The 38-year-old’s season is over after suffering a devastating double ACL tear during a freak training ground accident just before Christmas. The stricken Northern Ireland skipper - whose Rangers deal expires this summer - has been warned it could take anywhere from six months to a year before he’s able to resume action.

Davis is loath to call it quits but admits he faces a major call on whether to play on once he’s fully recovered. The veteran midfielder said: ”I've got to be realistic - it's a big injury and takes a lot of time to come back from.
