Stephen Robinson has admitted he made a last ditch plea to lure Steven Davis to St Mirren before the experienced midfielder penned a new one year extension at Rangers.
Davis was expected to leave Ibrox this summer after his contract expired but Giovanni van Bronckhorst and the board offered the Northern Ireland legend another deal. Robinson believed he had a great chance of convincing Davis to join the Paisley side due to the pair having worked together when the Buddies boss was part of the international coaching set-up.
But his attempt to land the experienced midfield man was in vain: “I was desperate to sign him," he said. "I was hoping he wouldn’t get another deal. There were a lot of rumours that he was coming to St Mirren. I texted him to say, ‘Is there any truth that you are interested?’ But he had already signed a contract with Rangers and I wasn’t surprised by that.
