Rangers legend Andy Goram has revealed doctors have given him just weeks to live, in a harrowing update on his cancer battle.
The 58-year-old was rushed to hospital weeks ago after falling ill at his Coatbridge home, and was given just six months to live, after being diagnosed with oesophageal cancer.
However, now they have given him between four and six weeks, with the cancer spreading faster than was previously thought.
'The Goalie' says he took a turn on Tuesday and was taken to Wishaw General, where it was confirmed that the illness had spread to his lymph nodes. His neck and left arm were badly swollen.
Rangers idol Goram, who also starred for Motherwell and Manchester United during a brilliant career, will be moved to Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre on Monday, fitted with a protective mask, and will undergo radiotherapy the next day.
Goram has also revealed that he will be transported to St Andrew's Hospice in Airdrie for his end-of-life care.
He told the Daily Record : "The cancer has spread a lot quicker than everyone thought.
"I felt really ill and was in a lot of pain on Tuesday and needed an ambulance to take me back to hospital.
"The tests confirmed the cancer was now in my lymph nodes and spreading fast.
"My specialist recommended radiotherapy. I decided to take his professional advice. I've said from the start I'll fight until D-Day.
"If this radiotherapy on Tuesday and my follow-up treatment prolongs my life I'll be able to see more of my family, friends and ex-teammates.
"It'll give me the chance to spend more time with my two grandchildren. That's the target."
