STEVEN Davis' fine form this season has been rewarded as the Northern Ireland internationalist has put pen to paper on a one-year contract extension at Ibrox.
The veteran midfielder's previous deal had been set to run out at the end of the current campaign but Steven Gerrard has managed to convince Davis to sign up for another term in Govan.
And the 36-year-old, who is enjoying his second spell at the club, says he is already looking forward to playing a key role in next season's title race.
He told the Rangers website: "It is a privilege to play at Rangers and every game for my boyhood club is special.

"Winning 55 was a historic moment for all of us and especially for me, as I had always said that I had unfinished business at Ibrox. As the manager has said, this is only the beginning and I am proud to continue as a Ranger for another season.
"We have plenty left to fight for this season and I am pleased that I have been able to contribute to the team. The manager and Ross [Wilson] were very open about their plans for me and the squad in the year ahead. I am excited for the future and especially to hear the Champions League music at Ibrox once again."
Gerrard added that it was a no-brainer for the Premiership champions to tie down the influential midfielder on a longer deal.
"Steven embodies professionalism and continues to set the standards required to be a Rangers player," said the Ibrox boss.
"He has been instrumental this year, playing a key role in our league success.
"Ross and I have enjoyed open dialogue with him, and acknowledge how he has handled this contact extension.
"Steven is low-maintenance and has much more to give our team, not only for the rest of this season but beyond.
"He is a role model to his team-mates and continues to strive to be a better version of himself. I am very pleased to have a player with Premier League and international experience on board as we look towards next season."
