Steven Davis is a 'huge' figure for Rangers and they must retain him beyond the summer.
That's the verdict of Celtic hero Frank McAvennie who has used Jermain Defoe as a prime example of how big an influence he can have. The veteran midfielder is currently sidelined through injury and is out of contract in the summer. He is one of a number of key players who the future remains unclear for at this stage but is one Macca would retain.
Steven Gerrard put Defoe in a coaching role while at Rangers and while his game-time on the park was limited, the influence he had on Alfredo Morelos was noticeable. The Hoops legend believes Davis could adopt a similar approach with the youngsters at Ibrox. McAvennie believes the Northern Ireland international has been a 'brilliant' player for years in Govan and if he was on the books the midfielder is one he'd sponge information from.
