Rangers head coach Michael Beale has called on people to donate blood after revealing that his young niece’s cancer has relapsed.
The former Queens Park Rangers boss, who has also previously worked as Steven Gerrard’s assistant in Glasgow and at Aston Villa, published a heartfelt post on his Instagram account urging people to register with charities such as Anthony Nolan and join donor lists.
Beale said that niece Poppy rang the hospital bell to signal the end of her treatment in December but her parents have now learned that she has relapsed and must undergo another round of treatment.
