Davis backs Healy to find form
Steven Davis has backed his Rangers team-mate David Healy to rediscover the form that made him Northern Ireland's record goalscorer.[LNB] Healy's return of 35 goals makes him the most prolific player in Northern Ireland's history and he also set a UEFA record when he plundered 13 in the Euro 2008 qualification campaign.[LNB]He has endured a lean patch in recent seasons, though, struggling for regular game time at club level and last scoring at international level against San Marino in October 2008.[LNB]Nigel Worthington has used the 32-year-old in an increasingly sparing way, with Kyle Lafferty taking over as first-choice striker and Healy frequently relegated to the bench.[LNB]But Davis has seen enough of his Ibrox colleague of late to believe he can find his old firepower in the must-win Euro 2012 qualifier against the Faroe Islands on Wednesday.[LNB]With injuries to Lafferty, Josh McQuoid, Martin Paterson and Warren Feeney as well as the withdrawal of James McClean in favour of the Republic of Ireland, he may need to.[LNB]"David Healy's record speaks for itself," said Davis.[LNB]"I have no doubt that he will get back to goalscoring form because he has so much quality.[LNB]"Playing at Rangers with David, I see him every day in training and if he gets a chance, nine times out of 10 he will put it away.[LNB]"His record for Northern Ireland has been phenomenal and after a good pre-season he is raring to go.[LNB]"Unfortunately in football people will always have an opinion and some have maybe written David off, which is strange.[LNB]"All the players know what he is capable of, though, and hopefully if he is in the side against the Faroes he will get back to his goalscoring best."
