Blackpool legend Charlie Adam admits it would be difficult to turn down return to former side Rangers

The 34-year-old began his career at Ibrox before joining the Seasiders on a permanent deal in 2009 after a successful loan spell.

The Reading midfielder, who is out of contract at the end of the season, says it would be difficult to say ‘no’ to his former club should they come calling.

"Listen, Rangers is a special place. Great club, great support," Adam told BBC's The Nine.

"If that opportunity ever came around you could never turn it down. Rangers are one of the biggest clubs in Europe.

"But I think there's more to worry about for Rangers at the moment, having to stop 10 in a row next season (Celtic have won nine consecutive titles).

"I saw the lads are back at training now and they'll be preparing for that because the pressure is massive.

"They've done a bit of business early, signing (Ianis) Hagi. It'll be interesting to see in the next few weeks with Ross Wilson, the manager and the staff, what type of player they want to bring in.

"Players with a little bit of experience, that have the know-how of playing at a big club. That might turn the tables a little bit.

"I'd be delighted for them to win that league next season, it'd be a great way to stop 10 in a row.

"But it's going to be tough, Celtic are a great team, they've dominated for a number of years.

"The pressure is on Rangers and it's time to see who can handle it.

"It'll be a good one to watch for next season, I'm sure."

Rangers, meanwhile, continue to be linked with a move for Blackpool’s young starlet Tony Weston.

Reports surfaced recently that the Scottish giants were closing in on the 16-year-old’s signature.

The forward, who made his debut for Blackpool in their FA Cup win against Maidstone United in December, can’t sign a professional contract at Bloomfield Road until he turns 17 in September.

However, different rules north of the border mean Rangers would be allowed to offer Weston a professional contract at 16.
