ALAN HUTTON has told his former Rangers teammates that he wants them to deliver his SPL title medal when they next meet up at the end of the season.

The Spurs right-back moved from Ibrox to White Hart Lane two months ago but played enough games for Walter Smith's side to qualify for a league medal should his former teammates become Champions in May.

He played in 20 SPL games - including the 3-0 win over Celtic in October - before moving to London at the end of the January transfer window.

Alan, speaking prior to Scotland's friendly against Croatia, has already bagged a Carling Cup medal after an extra-time win over Chelsea at Wembley but he is keeping his fingers crossed that he can become the first player to win medals in Scotland and England in the same season. 

He said: "I'll know that I will pick up a SPL medal if Rangers win the league which will be weird because I don't really feel as if I'm a part of it any more, even though I did play in a lot of the games.

"It's strange but I've had to move on and can only hope that the boys do as well as they can.

"I still stay in close contact with them and we will always stay in touch.

"In my head I wanted to finish the season at Ibrox but, as a player, I knew I was ready for the Premiership.

"I know I am able to cope with the pressure of playing in big games and I like to think I have proved that in my first two months.

"There have been people talking about me and saying nice things which has been good for my confidence. It has helped me to relax. I don't feel as if I have to go out and prove myself in every game - I can just go out and do what I did when I was up here.

"Concentration-wise you have to be on your toes every second of every game. If you switch off these guys will go by you in an instant. You really need to be careful but overall I think I have coped with it well.

"I still like to get forward but down there you have to know when to do it and when not to. If you make a run forward when it's not on a top team can punish you with just one pass in behind.

"It means you have to read the game a bit more carefully and that makes you a better player. When you are testing yourself against these guys you have to think more quickly and that's one of the reasons I went down there."

The 23-year-old has recently celebrated the birth of his second child, Leon, and has had no problems settling in amongst the Premiership big boys.

He said: "I must admit, I've really enjoyed my first couple of months at Spurs.

"I've settled in quickly and my team-mates have been brilliant with me. There is certainly no regret as far as I'm concerned.

"Obviously at first I was a wee bit wary of going down but I'm now glad I made the switch and I went when I did.

"I've been involved in some terrific games against the likes of Manchester United and then Chelsea in the Carling Cup Final and my first couple of months has been a brilliant experience.

"Yes, I was apprehensive at the start.

"I had to make a lot of decisions. It wasn't just about football, I was also thinking about my family and friends.

"But on top of that I grew up supporting Rangers and I managed to play for them. To leave that behind was a hard choice.

"But at the end of the day it was an awful lot of money - £9m for a right-back. Obviously I can understand how Rangers were looking at it. It is a business after all and they wanted to take the money.

"But they're happy and I'm happy so it's not a problem.

"I only hope they can now go on and win the Championship, it will not be easy with the amount of games they have to play in but I am confident they can do it."
