RANGERS hero Graham Roberts has revealed that he’s undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
The central defender, who spent a couple of eventful years at Ibrox during the 1980s, is revered by Gers fans, with supporters unveiling a giant tifo of him at a recent Old Firm match in January.

He insisted he was ‘very proud’ after an iconic photo of him conducting the Rangers fans as an auxiliary goalkeeper during a famous 2-2 draw in October 1987 was immortalised in a pre-match tifo on the Copland Stand.
But he has taken to social media this afternoon to reveal the news that he’s undergoing radiotherapy and brachytherapy in a bid to battle the condition.
Roberts – who also famously masterminded the defeat of Celtic in the Scottish Cup with Clyde – is bidding to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK, with his daughter Hollie walking 5km each day and Graham chipping in himself while he can.
He wrote on X: “I’m undergoing radiotherapy treatment and brachytherapy for prostate cancer and would love to raise money for this charity.
