Steven Davis in undying Rangers Treble belief but concedes Celtic 'favours' are needed for title revival

Steven Davis believes Rangers need a few favours if they are going to retain the Premiership title - and overturn a six point swing with five games to go.

However, he hasn't given up hope of completing a Treble this season.

Rangers have secured a Europa League semi final double header against RB Leipzig and have progressed to the Scottish Cup final after an extra time victory over Celtic on Sunday.

And now the experienced midfielder isn't giving up the thought of something truly remarkable unfolding.

"There is a lot still to play for," Davis told Rangers TV.

"We will need things to go for us a little bit in the league but we have to concentrate on doing our own jobs and picking up points.

"We have to try and put a little bit of pressure on them and then there are the European games to look forward to.

“It would be nice to keep that going and then finish it off with a Scottish Cup Final win.“

Rangers were a goal down when Davis took the field in the semi final victory.

However fellow substitute Scott Arfield struck an equaliser three minutes later to propel the momentum in the Ibrox club's favour and set up extra time - where a Fashion Sakala strike off of Celtic defender Carl Starfelt sealed the victory.

And he admits the players knew the importance victory over their Glasgow rivals could have on their season.

"We're just delighted to be honest," added the Northern Ireland international.

"We knew the importance coming into the game, what it meant for us as a group of players, to the fans and everybody involved.

"Especially after the effort the boys put in the other night to go again today and put in that level of performance and that level of intensity and actually see the game.

"We are just all delighted and buzzing in the dressing room."
