Is Steven Gerrard close to signing a new captain in January?

The pressure currently on James Tavernier as current captain has risen dramatically following his inept leadership and no-show after Dundee.

As such, Rangers surely have to consider appointing a new captain, but in a twist, could the new man be a January signing?

Steven Davis has been strongly linked with a return to Ibrox, and as former captain himself, knows exactly what is needed and with a tonne of experience both north and south of the border and a current international with Northern Ireland, the former Fulham man could be the perfect fit for the role.

Rangers certainly need quality in January, and some proper leadership. Scott Arfield is doing as good a job as he can to rally the troops, but he could certainly use some help and Arfield alongside Davis really would be a pretty decent midfield to say the least.

Would you want Davis as captain?
