'Top professional' ... Rangers ace pays tribute to retiring ex-Ger (Via HITC)

Rangers midfielder Steven Davis has paid tribute to Gareth McAuley after the defender announced his retirement.

McAuley announced via Twitter that he was calling time on his playing career.

The centre-back had been a free agent since being released from his Rangers contract in the summer. Davis played alongside McAuley for Northern Ireland for over a decade, as well as a brief stint at Rangers together earlier in 2019. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"> Top professional & brilliant team mate. Huge player over the years for Northern Ireland. Congrats on a fantastic career and happy retirement mate!! <a href="https://t.co/CnMEkKlV9e">https://t.co/CnMEkKlV9e</a> — Steven Davis MBE (@StevenDavis8) <a href="https://twitter.com/StevenDavis8/status/1178600829990903809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 30, 2019</a></blockquote> <script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="async"></script> McAuley, 39, signed with Rangers last year as a free agent after his release from West Bromwich Albion. Injuries and competition for places made it difficult for him to make an impact at Ibrox. He departed having made 10 appearances for Rangers in all competitions, including two in the Europa League. Davis' message shows the high esteem he was held in by the colleagues who knew him best. <img alt="Gareth McAuley talks with manager Michael O'Neill as the Northern Ireland football squad take part in an open training session at Windsor Park on September 7, 2018 in Belfast, Northern..." height="444" src="https://cdn.hitc-s.com/i/1168/gareth_mcauley_talks_with_manager_michael_oneill_as_the_northern_969233.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 640px;" title="Gareth McAuley talks with manager Michael O'Neill as the Northern Ireland football squad take part in an open training session at Windsor Park on September 7, 2018 in Belfast, Northern..." width="640" />
