Charlie Adam believes that Steven Gerrard is the man to stop Celtic from winning 10-in-a-row.

With a 13 point lead the hoops have got one hand on this season’s SPFL trophy with thoughts starting to turn towards next season.

In both seasons in charge at Ibrox Gerrard has overseen a title collapse after the winter break to kill off the sky high optimism that has become a feature of January.

Gerrard has been given the funding to match Celtic’s transfer activity but has had next to nothing back for the £10m invested in Filip Helander and Ryan Kent.

Questions are now being asked whether the Liverpool legend has the ability to deliver on expectations but despite another let down Adam has faith in his former Liverpool team-mate.

Listening in to Adam speaking about Gerrard to Radio Scotland the Daily Record reports:

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.

With Dave King apparently stepping down as chairman it’s unclear where the funding for a summer spending spree will come from. Celtic’s latest accounts state that they have close to £40m in the bank.
