ian1964 10,457 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 By Andrew Dickson STEVEN DAVIS admits he can't wait to team up with Barry Ferguson again after missing out on a reunion with him this evening. The Rangers skipper was named amongst the substitutes for tonight's 2-0 League Cup quarter-final triumph against Hamilton Accies. But despite going through warm-up routines in the second half, he never came on and will play for the reserves against Dundee United tomorrow instead. If he comes through that match without any problems, he'll then be considered for Saturday's home SPL clash with Caley Thistle at Ibrox. Davis played alongside 30-year-old Ferguson during his loan spell at Gers from Fulham last season. Having returned to Glasgow on a permanent deal over the summer, the Northern Ireland cap is relishing reforming the partnership over the next few weeks. He said: "Barry has been missing for a while now and he's a big player for us. He's our skipper and he leads by example. "It will be great to have him back. He'll give the manager a bit of a selection headache as he's the complete midfielder. "He can get forward, tracks back and is a great member of the team. It will be great to join up with him. "I experienced that last year and I thoroughly enjoyed it. He's a good passer of the ball and he'll fit back into the side really well." Davis set up Kyle Lafferty's clinching goal against Accies and was pleased to have helped Rangers into the last four of the competition. He knows the tournament could act as the first step towards a domestic treble this term and is looking for a clean sweep of trophies. Davis added: "The boys are delighted to be though. We're the current holders and we want to retain the trophy this year. "We thoroughly deserved to go through We had to bide our time and Hamilton made life difficult for us but we kept the ball moving and could have won by more. "This is the first chance to win silverware in the season and we definitely want to win it and the other competitions we play in." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
