Rangers legend Brian Laudrup wins 10-year cancer battle

Rangers legend Brian Laudrup has been given the all-clear from cancer after a decade-long battle.

The former Ibrox star was diagnosed with a slow-growing form of blood cancer 10 years ago.

He revealed the news to fans in Scotland and around the world in a social media post this afternoon.

The 51-year-old posted on Instagram: “Today, after 10 years of treatment and check ups, I finally got the all clear for my Follicular Lymphoma Cancer diagnosis!”

And he thanked medics at the Copenhagen hospital - one of the largest and most specialised in Denmark - for their care.

He added: “A huge thank you to this amazing and wonderful medical staff at Rigshospitalet.”

The great Dane joined Walter Smith's side in 1994 and won three SPL titles in a row, with many fans regarding him as the best foreign player ever to have played in Scotland.

Gers supporters were quick to send their best wishes, with one posting: "Nutmegged cancer as well. The guy's a genius."
