WE CAN HANDLE PRESSURE - ADAM

Posted 18/05/08 13:40

Midfielder Charlie Adam insists Rangers can handle the pressure as they head into a week of matches that will make or break their season.

Walter Smith's men may have competed in a staggering 65 games already this term but a Clydesdale Bank Premier League double-header against St Mirren on Monday and Aberdeen on Thursday, followed by the Scottish Cup final against Queen of the South, are all that matter now.

Saturday's 1-1 draw at Motherwell tilted the championship race in Celtic's favour. Rangers have a game in hand but the defending champions boast a three-point lead at the summit and a superior goal difference of plus-seven.

That means Rangers must now defeat St Mirren and Aberdeen comprehensively or hope Celtic slip up in their final match against Dundee United at Tannadice on Thursday.

"It's going to be tough," admitted Adam.

"It's three games in six days but we are looking forward to it.

"It will be a fantastic occasion for us and although there will be a lot of pressure in these last three games, we can handle it.

"We will look forward to the games as they come."

Rangers appeared to suffer from a European hangover when Chris Porter cancelled out Christian Dailly's opener to earn a point for Motherwell just three days after the UEFA Cup final defeat to Zenit St Petersburg.

But Adam insisted: "We could still have a treble to look forward to if we win every game. The UEFA Cup was a disappointment but, as footballers, you forget about it.

"It's done now. We will reflect on it in the summer but there are three important games first and it could still be a wonderful season."

With the finishing line now in sight, Adam is confident Rangers are ready for one final push to save their season.

"The season is almost done now and the last three games are the biggest games of the season," he said.

"If we win them all, it could be a fantastic season for us and it will be a good summer.

"As players we have to prepare right and we will do."

Adam spent a year on loan at St Mirren and does not believe the bottom-six club will regard tomorrow's clash as a meaningless match.

"We won't take it for granted and I know every player in the St Mirren dressing room won't take the game for granted," he said.

"To beat Rangers would be a big thing for them before going on holiday. We know it's going to be tough.

"They have had another fantastic season so it will be hard but we will be looking for the right result."

He added: "St Mirren have done well this season. I've still got a lot of friends there and they will make it difficult, along with the manager.

"But, if we go there and approach the game right, I don't see why we shouldn't win the game."
