The Steven Davis deal has been one of the talks of the window for Rangers fans. Unfortunately, however, the club look set to be dealt a blow with it.

So, all in all, the club and him are doing each other a favour.
Completely agree. This suits us. What if he comes and isn’t fast enough, or sits too far back. We need an AM or a box-to-box guy, not a DM. Let’s see if Davis can still do it first. Then he may also want more than we will pay
He has 6 months of his contract to go with Southampton so if he is on a loan deal for that length of time then it is likely that Saints are paying part of his wages , that suits him and it suits us. After that he is a free agent so any deal with us would not include money from Saints ,so it would have to be a new contract .It also means both sides can get out of the deal if it doesn`t work out.It is no big deal or cause for concern in my opinion
