Steven Davis sends out special message to Rangers fans after signing new deal

Steven Davis sent out a message to Rangers' fans after agreeing a new contract.

The 34-year-old has committed another year to the club, signing a one-year extension that will keep him at Ibrox until 2021 .

Davis returned to Rangers back in January, initially on-loan from Southampton before making the switch permanent in the summer.

After cementing his future to the club, Davis believes Steven Gerrard's side is heading in the right direction.

The Northern Ireland captain also paid tribute to the club’s supporters for backing him throughout his time at Ibrox.

“The fans have always been excellent with me and hopefully I can repay them with my performances on the pitch and I can’t speak highly enough of them and the backing. they have given me," he told Rangers' website.

“We know how important they are if we want to have success at the club in driving us on, and you need that unity, togetherness and that feel about the place.”

Reflecting on his new deal, Davis added: “I am delighted to get it all sorted. I think everyone can see I have been enjoying my football and I was keen to extend my stay.

“I know from my first spell, this club really draws you in and it is a great club to be a part of and I feel with the group we have got here, we are moving in the right direction.

“There are probably going to be bumps along the road and we know that, but I do feel we are moving in the right direction.

“It has been a really positive start to the season, but there is a lot of work to do in getting to our goals that we have set.

“We know the demands, and I think as soon as you walk through the door and you experience it, then the lads get to grips with that very soon and know what is expected of them.

“There is a real desire and there is a good blend in the dressing room as well of young players and experienced players. Hopefully that will stand us in good stead.

“We always want to keep trying to improve and there is that desire in the dressing room from the individuals and as a collective as well to keep doing that, and hopefully we can make it a successful season.”
