Rangers came from behind to win 3-1 against Livingston at Ibrox on Saturday and a section of fans on Twitter were impressed with what they saw from Steven Davis in the heart of the midfield.
James Tavernier, Brandon Barker and Alfredo Morelos were all on the scoresheet for the Light Blues after an early second-half penalty by Livingston gave the Ibrox faithful a huge scare.
However Steven Gerrard’s side remained in touching distance of Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic with their ramped-up display after going behind, with Davis, according to these fans, playing a key role.
Here is a selection of some of the tweets by Rangers fans who were blown away with what they saw from the 34-year-old midfielder on Saturday:

Davis dictates everything. Thought tav was bang average today, we clearly missed jack in midfield.

These Rangers fans believe that Davis should have been named as the man of the match for his performance against Livingston.
Considering he did not get on the scoresheet – and most of the time people vote for those who do – it says a lot about Davis’ display that he was even under consideration to be named as the best player on the pitch at Ibrox.
The 107-times Northern Ireland international’s experience is perhaps what was behind his strong performance.

Davis my motm. Thought Ojo was very poor in 1st half, but much better in 2nd. Barker and King gave a very good account of themselves, especially with Barkers goal. Halliday did himself no harm for his claim to the LB position. Alfredo and Tav excellent, especially in last 40 min.

Davis MOTM. Thats the kind of match we needed leaders and he stepped up. Thats also the kind of match where last season we would have dropped points. Impressed with Barker aswell.

This next Rangers fan claims that Davis is “the only midfielder earning his pay” in Gerrard’s midfield.
Ryan Jack has been one of the most impressive players at Ibrox this season so far but the former Aberdeen did not feature in the comeback win against Livingston, so hopefully this fan is not including him in that.
Scott Arfield and Joe Aribo weren’t great alongside Davis though, with the former conceding the penalty that led to Livi taking the lead.
Ojo isn’t doing it at all for me. Aribo has been invisible the last 2 games also. Davis is the only midfielder earning his pay for me. Missing Jack today.
