Rangers have been busy bees in recent days.

On Tuesday, the Ibrox outfit announced that they had successfully convinced Steven Davis to sign a new contract.

The 37-year-old looked set to leave Rangers on a Bosman soon amid potential retirement rumours.

But the Northern Ireland international isn’t hanging up his boots anytime soon, having signed a one-year extension on Tuesday.

And there was more news from Rangers earlier today after the club revealed that Connor Goldson had signed a new four-year deal in what is a massive boost.

Like Davis, the English defender had looked poised to leave Glasgow on a free this summer, with clubs like Nottingham Forest – now in the Premier League – reportedly interested in him.

However, the player is staying put and here’s how former light Blues star Andy Little reacted to the double boost on Twitter:

You get the feeling that there’s unfinished business for the Rangers duo.

Yes, they both won the Scottish Cup this past season, but that isn’t enough for a club of that stature.

They were also beaten finalists in the Europa League, suffering the heartbreak of a penalty shootout defeat by Eintracht Frankfurt, and Celtic wound up reclaiming the Scottish Premiership title that they had won for nine years in a row before Steven Gerrard stopped the 10 last term.

The Scottish Cup offered something to celebrate but, really, Giovanni van Bronckhorst will know it was a lukewarm campaign and he’ll know that Davis and Goldson are central to heating it up next time around.
