Southampton have announced the departure of Steven Davis to Rangers.

Davis has joined Rangers on loan until the end of the season, ahead of his contract expiring in the summer.

The 34-year-old returns to the club he joined Saints from in 2012, with Davis having spent six-and-a-half memorable years at St Mary's.

The Northern Ireland skipper made 226 appearances for the club, scoring 14 goals, as he played a significant role in some of Southampton's finest seasons in modern times.
