 Adam made his Rangers debut in 2004 and has scored 18 times for the club

Charlie Adam will try to persuade boss Walter Smith he still has a future at Rangers before giving Blackpool his decision on a £500,000 transfer bid.
Rangers accepted the Championship club's offer for the twice-capped Scottish midfielder at the weekend.
But Blackpool boss Ian Holloway said: "He fancies the chance of still playing for them because he is a Rangers fan.
"So he is going to see Walter Smith and hopefully he will be coming to see us on Thursday."
Rangers are open to offers for most of their first-team players as they look to cut their debt and Adam was expected to complete his move on Tuesday after discussing personal terms with Blackpool.
But he is eager to remain a Rangers player despite being loaned out to the Seasiders for the second half of last season.

And he wants to hear first hand from Smith that he is surplus to requirements when Rangers gather for pre-season training on Wednesday.
"His agent has told us that, although Rangers have accepted our offer, he is a bit confused about things because he thought he might have had a chance at Rangers," Holloway told his club website.
"The lad has heard lots of speculation about Barry Ferguson moving from the club."
Adam would be the first player to be sold by Rangers this summer as Smith looks to trim his squad and recoup some money.
Veteran defender Christian Dailly and midfielder Brahim Hemdani were not offered new contracts, while former captain Ferguson is being tipped to leave, with Birmingham and West Brom having expressed interest.
Adam impressed during his loan spell with Blackpool while his Rangers colleagues clinched a league and cup double.
Tony Parkes, who had been Blackpool caretaker manager for the latter part of the season, had hoped to make Adam's move permanent.
His successor, Holloway, has continued the club's pursuit of the player.
Barnsley had an offer for Adam rejected by Rangers this summer, while Preston have also expressed an interest, but Blackpool are the only club to meet Rangers' valuation of the player after increasing their initial bid.
The left-sided midfielder made his Rangers debut as a teenager in May 2004 before successful loan spells at Ross County and St Mirren, where he won a First Division championship medal.
A dead-ball specialist, he played a total of 89 games for Rangers, netting 18 goals for the club.
He has three years left on his Rangers contract but struggled to hold down a first-team place last season, making 11 appearances, the final one in a 1-0 Old Firm derby defeat in December.
