Charlie Adam seems to be like every other Ibrox fan. He’s obsessed with stopping ten in a row. To be fair, before that he and the supporters were obsessed with stopping seven, eight and nine which is looking very likely.
Celtic have kicked on since the winter break while the Ibrox club have still been hibernating. In all likelihood, Steven Gerrard is going to end another season with no trophies.
However, Adam is trying to put a brave face on things and has told RecordSport he believed Steven Gerrard is the right man for the job and the right man to stop ten in a row.
“I believe he’s the right man for the job. He’s had pressure since he was 18. This isn’t different to him. The only difference is it is in management.
“He has to pick up his players every week and he’s got to keep going and hoping that the performances will turn.
“He’ll be disappointed. Do I say it is failure? It’s disappointment. When he set out he would probably have thought he’d have won one or two trophies by now but that’s the disappointment he’s got to take as a Rangers manager.
“You’ve got to keep going as long as you can, but as far as he knows and wants to do, he’ll carry on and try and get that trophy. Does it look likely this season? Probably not, but then we go again next season and try and stop Celtic winning 10 in a row.”
Celtic head to Ibrox on Sunday thirteen points clear of their nearest rivals. They have been relentless in their pursuit of nine in a row.
While Adams might want Gerrard to stay, if he’s clever, he’ll remove his brand from the club this summer after a successful Europa campaign.
Whoever is in the hot seat at Ibrox next year will feel the heat.
COME ON THE HOOPS, TEN IN A ROW. Hail Hail.
