McAvennie believes that Davis has looked fit since he has returned to the team and is playing well at the moment.
The former Celtic and West Ham United striker has also praised Jermain Defoe, who joined Rangers on an 18-month loan deal from Bournemouth in the Premier League in the January transfer window.
McAvennie said on Open Goal: “To be fair, since Steven Davis has come back, he has been playing well and he looks fit. He has come up here and done that. And Defoe, I like Defoe anyway. He is better for the team anyway than Morelos is.”
Northern Ireland international midfielder Davis, 34, has made seven starts and four substitute appearances in the Scottish Premiership for Rangers this season, according to WhoScored.
Former Tottenham and West Ham striker Defoe, 36, has made seven starts and six substitute appearances in the Scottish Premiership for Steven Gerrard’s side this season, scoring seven goals in the process, according to WhoScored.
Davis – who is in his second spell at Ibrox at the moment and is out of contract at Southampton at the end of the season – recently told Sky Sports that he wants to make his loan deal at Rangers permanent, and that he has had conversations regarding a contract.
