Steven Davis in further Rangers extension hint as veteran dreams of Ibrox fairytale ending

Ageless Steven Davis could remain at Rangers beyond next season - and admits he's dreaming of a fairytale ending at Ibrox.

The 36-year-old midfielder has signed on for another campaign after proving instrumental in the club's first Premiership title win since 2011.

After watching him net a spectacular acrobatic effort against in the Scottish Cup earlier this month, Steven Gerrard reckons the Northern Ireland international has plenty left in the tank and the man himself has suggested he agrees.

The veteran reckons it could involve a bit luck but certainly isn't ruling out a further extension which would likely see him conclude his career at Rangers.

Davis said: "It would be a dream if I was able to stay at this level and finish my career at the club on a high.

"I don't know what's going to happen but that would be the ideal scenario personally if that was the case.

"It's difficult to plan ahead - you have to see how your body feels and mentally do you still have the desire? I certainly have that at this moment in time.

"I feel good physically and I've learnt from my former Northern Ireland team-mates Gareth McAuley and Aaron Hughes that when you get to this stage of your career you don't look too far ahead.

"You need to be very professional, treat your body right and give yourself the best possible chance.

"You have to have a bit of luck with injuries along the way, you have to have a real desire to keep playing, but Gareth and Aaron played late into their 30s and were a great example to me of what is possible if you put your mind to it.

"My approach going into this season was to get as much out of it as I can and enjoy it as you don't know how long you have got left.

"The body feels good and it's great to sign for another year. We'll reassess things again closer to the end of next season."
