Rangers booked a spot in a Hampden Park semi-final courtesy of a 1-0 win over Livingston on Wednesday night.

I don`t know what game you were watching or maybe its just your Irish bias but Davis was poor when he came on .He was repeatedly caught in possession and his passing was way off .He gave the ball away more in the 60 mins he was on than he has all season.I am a big fan , but I was really disappointed and surprised by his performance last night , along with 7 others I hasten to add .

I thought he worked his socks off, saved a certain goal for the second game running and was still the most positive of the midfielders, despite the lapses you’re referring too. Although, maybe I am subconsciously looking at his game through co.Antrim specs! Who were the three who got pass marks for you? McGregor, Barisic and Morelos?

I have been a big fan of Davis since before he joined us the first time and was pleased when he came back .He has been brilliant this season , but I just thought last night he gave the ball away in dangerous positions far too often .I will give you ,he did make that important clearance late on but thats like giving the MOTM to Ojo for that one brilliant run and shot and ignoring the other dross .Yeah , the only 3 who put in a decent 90 mins were Alfie , Barisic and McGregor , although he had very little to do to be honest.
