The former Rangers midfielder has been tipped to make an Ibrox return under Steven Gerrard.
Stephen Craigan believes Steven Davis would be a “super signing” for Rangers, having watched the Ibrox-linked midfielder in action for his country last month.
Davis has been strongly linked with a January return to Rangers, his former club, as Steven Gerrard seeks to strengthen his title-chasing side (Scottish Sun).
The 33-year-old is in the final year of his contract at Southampton – his employers since leaving Ibrox in 2012 – and has only played 220 minutes of football this season.
But neither Davis’s age nor his recent lack of action are concerns for Craigan, the Rangers target’s former Northern Ireland teammate turned pundit.
“I saw him playing for Northern Ireland in November, and he was absolutely terrific,” the 42-year-old told BT Sport on Wednesday. “He hadn’t played for three months for Southampton and he was the best player on the pitch by a country mile.
“If Rangers can get him in, I know he’s 33 but Steve’s as fit as a fiddle – super signing.”
Gerrard has seen his midfield depleted by the early return to Liverpool of Ovie Ejaria.
Given his history with Rangers, Davis would be a popular replacement for many of a Gers persuasion – although some have called for the return of Greg Docherty, who has impressed while on loan to Shrewsbury Town.
