Davis will never stop dreaming of Ibrox return

EX-SKIPPER OPENS UP ON FUTURE

- By Andy Newport

STEVEN DAVIS has come to terms with the fact he didn’t get to wave goodbye to Rangers with his boots on.

But the former Light Blues skipper isn't ready to give up yet on his dream of stepping back over the Ibrox threshold one day wearing a pair of managerial brown brogues.

It's two-and-a-half years since the Northern Irishman kicked his final ball for the club he loves.

An ACL tear suffered in training just before Christmas 2022 ended what was a glittering playing career for club and country.

Despite the four-time Scottish title winner's best efforts, there was no fairytale comeback nor a chance to bid farewell to the Gers support from the pitch he had graced so elegantly over two spells in Glasgow.

That might have stung the 40-year-old at one time, but these days he has accepted the rotten luck that brought the curtain crashing down on his spell as British football's most capped player.

Now working as an assistant to Northern Ireland boss Michael O’Neill, he’s looking to the next stage of his career.
