A Rangers-daft schoolgirl battling a rare disease was left speechless after her Ibrox heroes visited her hospital bedside. Freya Tootle was in "total awe" when the team's new manager Michael Beale and stars John Lundstram, Antonio Čolak and Alfredo Morelos made a surprise visit to Glasgow's Royal Hospital for Children on Wednesday, December 14.
The 10-year-old has been in the hospital for seven weeks after she was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare and serious condition that affects the nerves. She first started experiencing pain in the backs of her legs in November, with mum Donna and dad Chris Tootle putting it down to growing pains.
However, her pain continued to worsen and soon spread to her neck, at which Freya's parents took her to University Hospital Hairmyres. Mum Donna said: "At first the doctors thought it was a viral infection and told us just to keep giving paracetamol and ibuprofen.
