Ex-Rangers player Grant Adam accused of stealing more than £22,000 from grandfather

A former Rangers and Scotland U21 player has been accused of stealing more than £22,000 from his elderly grandfather.

Grant Adam, 30, of Dundee allegedly spent several months embezzling £22,930 from Charles Adam across the city.

Adam is accused of helping himself to money from his grandfather’s Post Office account while he had Power of Attorney over the pensioner’s finances.

The case against him was called at Dundee Sheriff Court yesterday.

Adam was not present and the case was continued without plea on a joint motion until the end of July.
