Steven Davis has urged Rangers’ board to continue their search for new players after the club’s Scottish Cup exit at the hands of Dundee United.

The Ibrox club brought in just one in the January window – forward Mervan Celik – and lost a host of first team players, including leading scorer Nikica Jelavic.

With the window closed, manager Ally McCoist is still able to add free agents and the club captain says it is important the current pool is added to.

"The window is closed and it's only frees that are going to be available," said the midfielder.

“But it would be nice to see a bit of investment in the team and try to add to what we've already got.

"The problem is that we've got a lot of key players out as well and that's something that's gone against us this season."

After their Scottish Cup exit, Rangers only have the Scottish Premier League to play for and currently trail league leaders Celtic in the race for the title.

"I think the league is still there for us, without doubt," said Davis.

"Sometimes it's hard to reflect on it straight after the game when everyone is a little bit down and it's hard to see the positives to take out of the situation.

"But we will get back to work, roll our sleeves up and get ready to go again.

"We've had a lot of success over the last number of years but now is the time, when things are going against you, for everybody to be pushing in the same direction.

"We need to give it our all and show the desire and what it means to pull on that shirt."
