FRANK McGarvey, the former Celtic striker who it was this week revealed is battling cancer, received a rousing welcome from the Parkhead crowd today when he took to the field before kick-off in the cinch Premiership match against Hibernian.
The man who scored over 100 goals for his boyhood heroes – the most famous of which was the diving header he netted to win the Scottish Cup final against Dundee United at Hampden in 1985 – was not just greeted warmly by the home supporters.
McGarvey revealed that manager Ange Postecoglou had given him a cuddle in the dressing room as he waited to go out on the pitch and spoken in glowing terms about his both his ability and achievements.
