RANGERS hero Brian Laudrup has been given the all-clear from cancer after a 10-year battle with the illness.
The former attacking player was diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma in 2010 and has been fighting the disease since.
But he revealed the heartwarming news on social media this afternoon surrounded by doctors and nurses in an emotional Instagram post.
Thanking those who have helped him down the years, Laudrup wrote: "Today, after 10 years of treatment and check ups, I finally got the all clear for my Follicular Lymphoma Cancer diagnosis! A huge thank you to this amazing and wonderful medical staff at Rigshospitalet".
Fans of the Light Blues and other clubs around the globe flooded Laudrup's post with messages of support and delight at his positive news. One said: "Fantastic news," while another added: "Yess Brian phenomenal news."
One commented: "Good news Brian all the best," as a fourth wrote: "Warrior, legend."
Laudrup spent four years as a player at Ibrox and is still regarded as an icon of the club.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
