National service
The 23-year-old midfielder arrives on a five-month deal to reinforce the Scottish Premier League leaders before their UEFA Cup date with Panathinaikos FC. Signed by Fulham from Aston Villa FC last summer, he moves on again with 22 top-flight appearances to his name this season. Davis, capped 26 times by Northern Ireland, became his country's youngest-ever captain when leading them against Uruguay in May 2006. If registered, he could feature when Rangers face Panathinaikos in the UEFA Cup Round of 32 on 13 and 21 February. Previously, Davis played 91 Premier League games for Aston Villa.
