Rangers fans have made their opinions clear with regards to
the potential signing of former club captain Steven Davis.

After Sky Sources

To suggest it was overwhelming would be an understatement.
Rangers fans, like they were for Allan McGregor, voted in
their strong majority to re-sign the former Fulham man by a landslide of 71%.

Let’s be clear about how Davis exited – just like the
majority of the squad he refused to remain at Ibrox in the Third Division, and
just like the majority he did NOT willingly sign his deal over either.

What did occur was Southampton
paid Rangers a lump sum (said to be around £800,000, half his market value at
the time) to avoid a messy legal dispute with then-chairman Charles Green.

But let’s not make any allusions that Davis is more of a hero or less of a hero
than anyone else. Rangers got cash for him, but not out of the goodness of Southampton’s heart.

That said time is evidently a great healer and frankly most
fans appear to have forgotten the past, for better or for worse, including us.

We want our Rangers to get better, and whatever that needs
we support.

And if the majority of the votes are to be believed, the

‘Fans’ (🤨) can vote online all they like.
Personally I think (and hope) this is all bluster and conjecture. Yes Davis was a good player for us but left 6 years ago. He was in his prime then and certainly isn’t now.
We got £700k for him and I believe that was at the insistence of the man himself. For that i’ll always have respect for him and welcome him back but not as a player. The same can’t be said for the rest of the gutter rats who abandoned us in our hour of need. Mc Gregor is one of those scumbags and I for one wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire, the trecherous prick. Given the chance i’d spit in his face. Bears falling over themselves praising him….makes me spew.
Steve Davis was a player, might even have something to give elsewhere but not here, we are Glasgow Rangers and our standards must be higher than inviting back old players. Fuck that.
Correct hes done,why go backwards again,i thought we had moved up a gear different class now,forget him
LETS GO WATP 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
71% disagree with you
It's a fair point.
Let's forget all the nondnons sign this player sell another just leave the decision making to Steve G
At the time Davis insisted k a m9ve fro the club bit did not rip his contract up. The fee was brokered as Davis was quoted that his sale was to go towards the club. He was once of the few who ensured a fee was paid to move him. Unlike Naismith. So I have no issues with his return and he is still more than good enough. Let's face it Davis or Dorrans. Never wanted to sign Mr Injury in the first place.
Davis was superb for Rangers but he's an even better player now after several years in the EPL and his Euro 2016 experience. 33 isn't too old, we'd get two good seasons out of him and he would be the man to put Scott Brown in his place…
Unfortunately, any fee received probably ended up in Charlie Green's pocket.
Dont get me wrong I Loved Davis as a Player for Us
He Was Amazing, He was The Midfield Anchor
But
I would not Take Him Back This Time
His Time Came and Went
We are going in a New Direction so we need to look Forward not to the Past
I ask you ask one question
We dont do walking away BUT the CAPTAIN does = in fact hes the first to jump ship
Do we do walking away or dont we?
Or only when it suits us?
No wonder we have Losing mentality
Every fab that sticks up for this man is doing Glasgow Ramgers and their History a
grave disservice SHAME ON YOU ALL AND ON IBROX NOISE
NEext thing you will be voting for people on the board when they put us into administration OH thats right you already did that !!
is it any wonder we are getting lower and lower in world standing
SHAME !! SHAME!!SHAME!!
I wouldn't have stayed to play in effectively Divison 4. I don't blame any player that chose to leave. Its such a short career
To all the bears out there if Stevie G thinks he is the guy for us well so be welcome home Steven lets start off the way before you left home good luck .
