Adam Lallana declares Rangers allegiance as Liverpool title winner praises Ibrox star

Adam Lallana has declared his Rangers allegiance while raving about ex teammate Steven Davis.

The Liverpool title winner, and now Brighton playmaker, shouts "up the Rangers" into the camera after paying a video tribute to Davis' Northern Ireland cap milestone.

Ibrox midfielder Davis will earn his 120th national team cap if he is selected against Bosnia tonight, surpassing the record set by Pat Jennings.

And Lallana was among those who took the time out to congratulate the 35-year-old on his achievement.

Lallana, a teammate of Davis at Southampton, added: "To get to your 120th cap for your country is something to be immensely proud of.

"There's not many other internationals who have done that."

Mauricio Pochettino, Ronald Koeman, Virgil Van Dijk and Walter Smith all also spoke highly of Davis, and recognised his superb Northern Ireland milestone.

Pochettino told Sky Sports: "The talent of him I compare to football people like Xavi and Iniesta.

"You put him in the same level as this type of player because of this capacity to play football, be a playmaker, the intelligence to read the game, his capacity to run. I think to compare Christian Eriksen to this type of player too, they make your team better."
