Michael Beale insists Steven Davis is desperate to return to action for Rangers and has no intention of hanging up his boots.
But the manager admits a call will be made once the rehab is complete following the Northern Irishman’s knee injury. Davis saw his season ended in December after a freak training ground incident resulted in an ACL rupture. At 38, it was assume dby many that Davis would call time on a storied career that saw him become the most capped British outfield player of all time.
Coaching is no doubt part of Davis’ future and it may be the case that he transitions from Ibrox pitch to dugout over the next few months. But Beale wants to give the midfielder every chance of keeping his career going as long as possible, as he deserves a fitting send off rather than slipping into the background. “He is focused right now on not ending his career and getting back to playing,” Beale said. “When I first came back I thought Davis had more time in him and five subs gives you a lot of options now as a coach.
