Davis featured in Rangers ' Europa League final, scoring a penalty in the club's agonising shootout defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.

He also started the Scottish Cup final which Rangers won against Hearts at Hampden Park.

Davis told the club website: "I am absolutely delighted. It was a really important season for us last year, and to finish on a high with the Scottish Cup was important for the team and the group and we want to try and kick on again next year now.

"Growing up as a Rangers fan, it was always going to be special pulling on the jersey, and I have been very fortunate to do it the number of times that I have and to have some of the memories I have had."
