Charlie Adam retires as former Rangers, Liverpool and Dundee star hangs up his boots with emotional message

Former Scotland midfielder Charlie Adam has announced his retirement from football aged 36.

A youth academy graduate at Dundee, Adam signed for Rangers at U20 level and made 80 appearances for the Ibrox side before heading south to Blackpool. He captained the Seasiders to promotion to the Premier League and, with his fierce record from free-kicks and penalties, earned a move to Liverpool in 2011. He went on to play for Stoke City and Reading before returning north to Dundee in 2020.

He helped his boyhood team back into the Premiership and made 33 appearances for them last season but opted to leave after their relegation to the Championship. And having not found a new club with seven games played of the SPFL season, he has announced his decision to retire with an emotional Instagram post.
