Adam ready for Ibrox return
iverpool midfielder Charlie Adam returns to former club Rangers on Tuesday with mixed feelings of his time in Glasgow.[LNB] The Reds play a friendly against the Scottish champions in Glasgow with the 25-year-old admitting his nine-year association with the Ibrox club had its fair share of ups and downs.[LNB]Adam joined Rangers aged 15 in December 2000, making his debut just over three years later, but was sent out on loan spell to Ross County and St Mirren before returning for a further two and a half years ahead of his move to Blackpool and this summer's switch to Merseyside.[LNB]"[There were] ups and downs really. I had some great times there but also some hard times and that was with not playing, which was a difficult period," said the Scotland international.[LNB]"That's the way it goes sometimes and football changes so much nowadays.[LNB]"I'm glad I started there and the coaches I had over the years helped me to progress to where I am today.[LNB]"But the friendly is certainly one I'm looking forward to because it's not very often you get the opportunity to go back and play against your former club."[LNB]With no European football this season Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has taken the opportunity to slot in an additional game to help his squad remain competitive.[LNB]And Adam, who was impressive in Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United, hopes they can use it to continue to build momentum and confidence after being shaken by back-to-back Premier League defeats last month.[LNB]"Hopefully it will be a good game and we can get the right result which is important because winning breeds confidence," he told liverpoolfc.tv.[LNB]"If we can win that it will give us a boost going into Saturday's game with Norwich.[LNB]"It's a good opportunity for us to play someone different.[LNB]"We want to get back in the Champions League so this game will be a good test for us and different to the Barclays Premier League."
