The Northern Ireland captain spent four years at Rangers between 2008 and 2012, winning eight major trophies during his first spell.
Since leaving the Gers in 2012, he has racked up an incredible 193 Premier League appearances for Southampton.
Add to that his stints at both Aston Villa and Fulham, and the midfielder has over 300 career appearances in the top tier of English football.

It has become clear in recent weeks that he is surplus to requirements at St Mary’s.
Yet to make an appearance under Ralph Hasenhuttl, it seemed like Rangers had a shot at bringing Davis back to Glasgow.
Clearly, the club haven’t wasted any time.

Barring any last minute glitches with personal issues or medical problems, the Ulsterman should soon be a Ger again.

The news comes at an exciting time for the club.
It’s a signal of intent. Far from resting on their laurels after the Old Firm victory, Rangers are keen to make use of the transfer window to improve further, as they mount a serious challenge for the SPL title.
