Celtic legend Frank McGarvey diagnosed with cancer as family send thanks for support over hero

Celtic legend Frank McGarvey has been diagnosed with cancer, his family has revealed.

The 66-year-old born in Glasgow started his career at St Mirren before a legendary spell at Parkhead during the 1980s brought two Premiership titles, two League Cups, and two Scottish Cups. He played over 200 times in green and white over his five-year stay before leaving in 1985, scoring in excess of 100 goals.

McGarvey was also capped by Scotland and spent time at Liverpool before joining the Hoops, who Celtic signed him from for a fee in the region of £270,000, which for a short while made him Scotland's most expensive player.
