Former Rangers midfielder Charlie Adam has given his former Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard full credit for the work that he has done at Ibrox.
Adam has also predicted that the Light Blues can beat Celtic FC to the Scottish Premiership despite most pundits putting the Hoops as the favourites to win an eighth consecutive title.
Talking to BBC Scotland, Charlie Adam said: “They are going to be able to challenge Celtic,
“The players that they’re signing, the calibre of player they can attract because of who he is, his aura in the game, what he’s achieved… all that is going to improve them.
“Man management is going to be crucial. They need to close the gap, simple.”
Apart from playing alongside Steven Gerrard at Liverpool, Charlie Adam also had a soft spot for Rangers since he spent six years at the club from 2003 until 2009.
“They need to have won the first three games,” Adam added.
“The Old Firm games are not going to decide the whole season because you need to go to Tynecastle, Easter Road, Pittodrie.
“They’re be looking to win every game going into that Celtic game, and taking confidence into how they’ve been playing.”
“If you could try and mould how Rangers are going to play I think you just have to look at how Steven Gerrard was as a player,” Adam said.
“He was tenacious, he is a winner. He would run through brick walls. That’s how Rangers will play from the first whistle right to the end of the season.
“His team will want to go and dominate, they will want to press high. They will want to get after teams like Brendan [Rodgers] does with Celtic, he’ll want to press from the front.”
Rangers play their first game of the new Scottish season on Sunday when they travel to the Pittodrie Stadium in order to take on Aberdeen.
