A few Rangers fans have been lauding Steven Davis’ Old Firm Derby goal from 2009, with some celebrating the strike purely for the midfielder’s celebration.
Celtic visited Ibrox on May 9 that year looking to stretch further clear of Rangers in the Premiership title race, with the Light Blues trailing the Hoops by a point heading into the clash with four games of the season still to play.
A hectic start to proceedings soon kicked things off between Scotland’s most dominant forces, but it would be the home crowd celebrating on 37 minutes when Kenny Miller’s cross found Davis in the box to score from close range.
Davis even went on to deny Celtic an equaliser when he blocked Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink’s header on the line, in what was a fully committed encounter that would end 1-0 to Rangers.
The Gers went on to win the Premiership title that year with a four-point advantage over Celtic, having won 26 of their 38 fixtures to the Hoops’ 24 victories, while both sides lost just four games all term.
Rangers fans still continue to laud Davis for his goal, although some supporters have taken to Twitter to celebrate the 107-cap Northern Ireland international’s knee slide celebration following a throwback post by the Ibrox outfit.
The midfielder has rarely found himself being the one to put the ball home in light blue, with Davis scoring just 22 times over 260 outings for Rangers over his two spells in Glasgow.
Here are some of the messages shared as fans reacted to Rangers’ throwback post….
