Rangers hero Scott Nisbet on stage 4 cancer battle while losing Ibrox legend pals to disease

Cancer-hit Rangers hero Scott Nisbet has revealed how he struggled to cope watching other Ibrox icons succumbing to the illness.

The 54-year-old was diagnosed with Stage Four cancer two years ago after thinking he had damaged his back lounging at his Lanzarote home during Covid-19 lockdown. Since then, he has mourned the deaths of his former manager Walter Smith, ex-teammate Andy Goram as well as fellow Rangers Ally Dawson and Tom Forsyth.

Dawson mentored Nisbet when he was an apprentice in the 80s and he also forged a friendship with Forsyth during his 11-year spell at the club. The former defender admitted he has found it hard to remain positive about his struggle with cancer after people he cares about lost their own battles.
