ian1964 10,720 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Slightly off topic, but as the Championship season finishes next week (IIRC) for the likes of Blackpool (no involvement in play offs etc) does that mean that Adam and Gow will be available for selection for us? Cammy F Charlie Adam last night revealed he will be unable to contribute to Rangers' Clydesdale Bank Premier League title challenge because of red tape over his registration. Adam has been on loan to Blackpool since February but their Coca-Cola Championship season ends against Swansea tomorrow. The 23-year-old midfielder hoped it would free him up to return to Ibrox for their remaining league games and the Scottish Cup final. Adam will return to Scotland days before next weekend's final Old Firm game of the season but has accepted that tomorrow's Blackpool fixture will be the last game he can play this season after looking into his contract situation. advertisement "My contract at Blackpool runs out on June 2," he said. "I had thought that I could go back and play again for Rangers. But the rules are the rules. I think it's because it's two different national associations involved and another international transfer, which means that I can't be registered to play again for Rangers this season. I'm a wee bit disappointed about it, to be honest." Adam made only nine appearances for Rangers this season before leaving on loan but two of those were Old Firm games. Manager Walter Smith appreciated his discipline and defensive work-rate as a wide midfielder and gave him starts at Parkhead in August and again when Celtic were at Ibrox on December 27. It was his last appearance before leaving for Blackpool on the final day of the January transfer window. Since then he has watched from Lancashire as the Old Firm had a 0-0 league draw in February and Celtic beat Rangers in the Co-operative Insurance Cup final the following month. "I came in for the first Old Firm game and we won 4-2," he said. "My last game was the 1-0 defeat. You never want to miss those games. It's been tough not being involved in the big games but I've had major games down here as well, playing for Blackpool against some big sides." http://www.theherald.co.uk/sport/headlines/display.var.2505613.0.Red_tape_scuppers_Adams_Old_Firm_return.php 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 846 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Seems to be doing well at Blackpool but they can keep him IMO. Adam showed glimpes of skill but was generally awful IMO. Id rather see Gow tried on the left than Adam. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would I, however I'd like to see Adam played in his best/natural position of CM before writing him off 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
