Steven Davis responds to Aston Villa interest in Steven Gerrard
The midfielder was asked about the potential departure of his boss while on international duty
Rangers midfielder Steven Davis says he understands why there would be interest from Aston Villa in Steven Gerrard.
The Ibrox boss is the front-runner to take over at Villa Park - with reports suggesting Gerrard is also keen on the role.
The English Premier League side are on the hunt for a new manager after sacking Dean Smith at the weekend.

Purslow was managing director of Liverpool while the former England captiain played at Anfield.
The Daily Telegraph report talks are set to take place with Villa ready to make an official approach to Rangers.
