Steven Davis hopes for Nikica Jelavic stay

Rangers midfielder Steven Davis hopes that the club does not sell striker Nikica Jelavic.

The 26-year-old, who bagged a brace in Rangers' 2-1 win over St Johnstone on Saturday, has been linked with a move to the Premier League.

"There's been a lot written in terms of what he wants to do but he showed he's got a desire to still do well for Rangers so hopefully the club can keep hold of him," said Davis.

"There has been a lot written in the press saying he wants to move on but he always works hard for the team and it was good to see him get his rewards again for the effort he puts in."

The SPL champions are currently second behind bitter rivals Celtic in the league table.
