RANGERS midfielder Steven Davis was unable to get Northern Ireland over the line against Italy on Monday night as his side were held to a 1-1 draw at Windsor Park - but he didn't let that stop him from making one fan's evening.
Ian Baraclough's men wrapped up their World Cup qualifying campaign with a credible draw at home to the European champions, finishing a point clear of Bulgaria in Group C in third.
Davis was carrying out his post-match media duties after the final whistle when he spotted a young fan in the stand nearby.
After concluding his interview, the veteran midfielder went over to the boy and offered him his shirt and took a picture with the supporter.

Davis then took photos with other fans that had stayed beyond the final whistle, chatting with punters in a friendly fashion and signing autographs.
The Ibrox midfielder - who is considering his international future - was then asked by some fans to keep playing for "one more" qualifying campaign.
