Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is understanding of Steven Davis' desire to return to Rangers.
According to Sky Sports News, Rangers and Saints are in talks over a transfer.
Saints are okay with letting their club captain leave. The 34-year-old wants to make the move, and he has his manager's blessing.
"The fact is he has a half-year contract here until the summer so what we want to give him is the chance to make the next step, if it is a possibility we will help him to do so," Hasenhuttl said to reporters.
"He has done a lot for this club so hopefully we can find a win-win solution for both sides."
