Rangers midfielder Steven Davis finding Northern Ireland inquisition 'frustrating'

Northern Ireland captain Steven Davis insists his only focus is on the here and now with club and country after admitting he’s growing increasingly frustrated by questions on his future.

The Rangers midfielder, who marked his 133rd cap with a goal in Friday night's 3-1 friendly win in Luxembourg, is out of contract in the summer and has yet to sign a new deal at Ibrox.

The impending uncertainty surrounding the 37-year-old’s club career has many fans fearing that Davis may call time on national duty in the weeks or months ahead.

Not that the veteran playmaker is ready to lift his gaze beyond the present as he chases down a fifth league title with Rangers in the final two months of the season.

He also has the little matter of Tuesday night’s home friendly with a Hungary side who played at last summer’s Euro finals and have lost just one of their last 10 games on the road.

“During the last campaign, there were so many questions, would I retire or not?” said Davis. “I think I got asked about it so many times it maybe was a little bit frustrating.

“Obviously you want to just concentrate on your football, although I understand it comes with being out of contract in the summer.

“But it’s the same situation I’ve been in these last couple of years in terms of contract talks only coming to fruition at this stage (of the year).

“I just want to enjoy my football and I haven’t thought too much beyond the end of the season.

“I think it’s important, especially as you get older, that you don’t look too far ahead and I just want to finish the season strongly and go from there.

“My main aim this week was to try and get some fitness, go back to Rangers
