STEVEN GERRARD was full of praise for a ‘special footballer’ as Steven Davis bossed the victory over Dundee United on Saturday.
The 35-year-old produced a superb showing in the middle of the park as Rangers ran out comfortable 4-0 winners thanks to goals from Ryan Kent, James Tavernier, Kemar Roofe and Scott Arfield.
Davis moved level with Pat Jennings as Northern Ireland’s record cap holder against Norway in midweek and quickly settled back into the domestic groove for the Light Blues.
Gerrard said: “Special footballer. If anyone would have had an excuse today to be a little bit off it or a little bit flat it would have been Steven Davis.
“Two international games, travelling away from home, at his age. But he doesn’t use excuses.
“He goes out, does the job, exactly what you ask him to do he does it. He is a top class individual.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
