BEN DAVIES has said he is “seriously considering” a permanent move to Birmingham City this summer.
Davies was loaned to the League One leaders last August and has played a key part in their push for promotion.
The 29-year-old defender had fallen out of favour at Rangers under Philippe Clement, having been signed during Giovanni van Bronckhorst‘s reign in the summer of 2022 for £3m.
He’s played 37 times for the Blues this season, scoring once, and has more often than not been in the starting XI under boss Chris Davies.
Davies has a contract with the Ibrox club that runs until June 2026.
But he could QUIT Gers before the start of next season after refusing to rule out a transfer to Birmingham once his loan deal expires.
Davies’ first goal for the St Andrew’s side came on Saturday in a 4-1 win over Shrewsbury.
After the game he was asked about the prospect of him snubbing a return to Rangers and exploring a move to the West Midlands.
He said: “I haven’t thought about it.
“I came on loan to play a lot of games and hopefully help Birmingham back up and have a good season.
“I’m happy with how it’s going here but I’ll think about that and consider all my options in the summer.
“I’m going to work here till the summer then see what my agent says. I’m really enjoying it here so if the opportunity arose I’d consider it seriously.
“But it’s not really my decision at the minute so I’m going to wait and then see what’s happening.”
There doesn’t appear to be an option to buy for Birmingham in the Davies deal so a transfer would require both clubs and the player to come to terms that suit all parties.
Davies scored the first of Birmingham’s four goals and was assisted by fellow Gers loanee Kieran Dowell.
The pair are part of a large contingent of players with links to the SPFL currently at Birmingham.
Former Celtic star Tomoki Iwata has been a revelation since moving there and ex-Hearts youngster Alex Cochrane has enjoyed plenty of minutes playing at left-back.
Another ex-Rangers player in Scott Wright is also on the books, as are Scotland internationals Grant Hanley and Lyndon Dykes.

A HUGE city centre revamp has been delayed – with a council official hinting lazy workies are to blame.
Aberdeen’s flagship Union Street is being given an overhaul in a huge £20million project.
Locals have complained that the centre has been thrown into turmoil by the scheme, which was supposed to end this year.
But now it’s going to run into 2026 and the local authority’s chief capital officer John Wilson appeared to point the finger of blame at construction crews.
In a report, he said there had been several issues including “less than required contractor productivity”.
The main contractor on the scheme is Morrison Construction who have taken on CHAP as a subcontractor.
Insiders say the project has been hit with repeated problems, including the discovery of old water pipes that had to be dealt with.
But it’s understood no one from the council has been in touch with the teams to discuss any concerns they have about a lack of hard work.
In his report Mr Wilson, who is preparing to retire, added: “The magnitude of delay and possible mitigations are still being discussed.
“However, it is clear that the works will now not be completed in 2025 but are more likely to be Spring 2026.”
Talking to the Press and Journal, the authority’s finance convener Alex McLellan said: “The chief capital officer is the one managing these contractors. And if that’s his opinion, then certainly that is a fair one.”
“I am not out there managing these contracts directly. But what I would say is there is an expectation from the council that the contractors are delivering projects as quickly as possible and to the correct standard.
“So hopefully we can see things move forward and lessons can be learned.”
North-east Tory MSP and former council co-leader Douglas Lumsden blasted the comments.
He said: “The council has taken their eye off the ball and the blame lies solely at their door – not the workers.
“Businesses that have remained loyal to Union Street throughout these works now face paying the price for the council’s negligence in allowing timescales to slip.”
We told how cash-strapped council bosses in Aberdeen have hired a private firm to dish out fines to locals to try and clean up the city.
A spokeswoman for Aberdeen City Council said they don’t comment on reports before they’re considered by committees.
