Steven Davis looks certain to seal a move to Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.

Speaking to The Scottish Sun, Harry Redknapp says Rangers could be signing a ‘great pro’ in the form of Steven Davis.

The Southampton midfielder is heavily linked with a return to Rangers this month.

According to The Scottish Sun, the 34-year-old will sign a £12,000-a-week contract which will keep him at Ibrox until the summer of 2020.

The Northern Ireland international has over 100 caps for his country and some 306 Premier League appearances under his belt.

Rangers also look poised to bring Jermain Defoe to Glasgow, and Redknapp says they are both signings that he would make if he was in charge of a struggling Premier League side.

“Rangers are signing another great pro in Steven Davis. Jermain and Steven are players of excellent pedigree, quality players who will only improve Rangers,” he told The Scottish Sun.

“They are amazing signings.

“If I was manager of Cardiff City or Crystal Palace right now, looking to stay in the Premier League, then Defoe and Davis would have been among my signings targets.”

Davis, who previously enjoyed four years at Ibrox, turned 34 on New Year’s Day but he still has plenty to offer a Premiership club.

His influence may be on the wane down South in the top flight, but he could be a revelation for the Gers and fans of the Scottish giants will be delighted to have him back.
