Adam joined Rangers as a schoolboy, going on to play for the clubs under 19 side. He was a losing finalist in the Scottish Youth Cup final in April 2009 losing 2–1 to Hibernian.

Adam is a common masculine given name.
The personal name Adam derives from the Hebrew noun ha adamah meaning "the ground" or "earth". It is still a Hebrew given name, and its Quranic and Biblical usage has ensured that it is also a common name in all countries which draw on these traditions. It is particularly common in Christian- and Muslim-majority countries. In most languages its spelling is the same, although the pronunciation varies somewhat. Adán is the Spanish form of this name.
Adam is also a surname in many countries, although it is not as common in English as its derivative Adams (sometimes spelled Addams). In other languages there are similar surnames derived from Adam, such as Adamo, Adamov, Adamowicz, Adamski etc.
In Arabic, Adam (آدم) means "made from the earth/mud/clay".
Roger Adam was a French aircraft designer and manufacturer who produced light aircraft in kit from 1948 to 1955. He established the firm Etablissements Aeronautiques R. Adam.
Adam is a fictional character; from the Ravenloft campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
Adam was a major character in the 1994 novel, Mordenheim, written by Chet Williamson.
Adam is the darklord of Lamordia. Known as Mordenheim's Monster or the Creature, he is an extremely intelligent and nimble dread flesh golem, based on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Adam is the most successful creation of Dr. Victor Mordenheim in his research into the creation of life, albeit the one that causes him grief unmeasured. Adam reduced the doctor's wife Elise to a vegetative state and apparently murdered their adopted daughter Eva.
The two are inextricably bound together: Dr. Mordenheim has Adam's immortality, and in return Adam shares the doctor's anguish.
Usually hidden from sight, Adam is believed to spend most of his time on the Isle of Agony, part of the archipelago known as the Finger.
Ha-ha, live from Houston Texas
Your's truly, the Mix Tape Messiah
Y'all know what time it is, it's grind time, baby
Chamillitary mayn, the realest
It's grind time, I need mine
Grind time, I need mine
Grind time
(Looking at my watch)
I, I, I, I, I, I, I need mine
Not hanging around that corner, I'm chasing and trying to fold a
Whole stack I stay on my grind, when it's hot or even colder
Yeah, you know the color, denying it if they told ya
That I am not just a client mayn, I am the biggest roller
When it come to that paper, that paper be like my partna
My paper ain't never heard, the fat lady sing at the opera
Sitting low in that dropper, on top of the mono-block
Ya can't let all the hating stop ya, what would you be on the block
For grinding, that's the reason, yeah, that's the reason you breathing
If that ain't nowhere around me, then that's the reason I'm leaving
Gotta go get my G's and show 'em it ain't a problem
If you'd just get off your bottom, then you'll be saying I got 'em
Get it like me, maybe live near to see
While the people mad at your habit, beginning to be
Such a nusense but we are as real as could be
And real recognize real but you looking different to me
It's grind time, I need mine
Grind time, I need mine
Grind time
(Looking at my watch)
I, I, I, I, I, I, I need mine
It's grind time, I need mine
Grind time, I need mine
Grind time
(Looking at my watch)
I, I, I, I, I, I, I need mine
King of the Chamillitary camp, cheering for the champ
BVS's in my necklace, my appearance like a lamp
Lit up in my ear as they see the king appear
Haters definitely can't stand it, standing near a chandelier
I'ma keep on shining, like a Southern playa's spose'
I'ma keep getting respect, just ask about me round the globe
Down here the music slowed, if it's tight they call it throwed
Candy paint cover my do's and them wheels we call em 4's
Some on-lookers looking, like they wishing that they had 'em
Balling if I want it, don't play with it go and grab 'em
Get the old school a couple tools, candy paint and slab 'em
Go and get the old school DJ Screw and jam it like a anthem
Don't care 'bout who you know 'cause I'm the illest rapper rapping
If you think someone better be a good lad and go grab 'em
For now I just go get it and sit crooked on my Davin's
And deal with it how I deal with it and do it like a champion
It's grind time, I need mine
Grind time, I need mine
Grind time
(Looking at my watch)
I, I, I, I, I, I, I need mine
It's grind time, I need mine
Grind time, I need mine
Grind time
(Looking at my watch)
I, I, I, I, I, I, I need mine
Friends turn to foes, homies turn to haters
Further down the road, partnas turn to fakers
So I'ma keep it true but some will turn to perpetrators
Won't keep it in control, turn to instigators
Real is how we roll, use to try to play us
Patience getting low, switch it to the majors
Freestyle or flow, mean y'all on different pages
Got that bidness man grind, had to make a couple changes
It's grind time, I need mine
Grind time, I need mine
Grind time
(Looking at my watch)
I, I, I, I, I, I, I need mine
It's grind time, I need mine
Grind time, I need mine
Grind time
