He was in Wishaw General for a couple of months. He's not in a good way. Shame.

Horrible disease....

Poor old Nando looks in a bad way judging by the photies in the papers but it sounds like he's got a very good attitude. All the best to him.

My dad spent his last weeks in St Andrews Hospice in Airdrie and the care is fantastic.

I remember the week or two before he died it was the Scottish Cup Final where we beat Hibs 3-0 I think. Took my dad in a couple of beers and we watched the game.

Staff were great all along 👍

Fernando will be in great hands

Best place for anyone at the end of life stage. Dignity and care. One can only hope his final days are peaceful.

My wife volunteers there a couple of days week ...a phenomenal place. Needs a lot of money to keep it going.

They all do Magnum. We go to a fundraising ball in our local area every year and make sure we donate well and increase the bids in the auction sometimes ending up with things to do and go to.

Also the company who does the Xmas trees round our way charge for delivery and pick up for disposal. All of that goes to the same charity.

Worthwhile cause and as most things underfunded.

Imo.....the worst of all illnesses....mind sharp as ever while trapped in a body that is wasting away...brutal. We should be allowed to die with dignity and hospices allow that

Such a lengthy, distressing way to spend the last few years of his life-and for his family as well.

Only hope this can end as painless for him as possible.

Terrible, rotten, unfair place the world is at times.
I seen the pic of him at the hospice, poor soul.

Such a shame
What a horrible illness

Not even sure what I hope for him and his family, peace in any way possible

Great suggestion mate. I know some of the fundraisers so can make the link if that's what the group decides.

Good shout.

I’ll put up an article tomorrow to get views on the change.

I know the Children’s Hospital has become our unofficial charity but something like this crosses the Old Firm barriers and brings us together 👍🏻

I’d vote for it to change this year

Good shout lads

How about a 50/50 split between the hospital and mnd Scotland?

When is the charity match planned for?

The problem now is that it's harder to work out when curly will be away

Hope he makes it. It’s not the same without a keeper scoffing cans between saves.

He's probably nervous about showing up given the recent revelations about his preferences. Understandable I suppose.

Oh

What’s this?

According to JFK, curly is batting for the other side mate. Always had my suspicions mind.

Had to come out.
