The family of Jackie McNamara have said the former Celtic defender is receiving the "best care possible" after he fell seriously ill and was rushed to hospital over the weekend.
The 46-year-old is understood to have been admitted to hospital for brain surgery.
This is Jackie’s daughter.
Thank you all for your kind words and support. My dad is getting the best care possible, as you all can understand this is difficult for us as a family and request privacy at this time. ❤️— Jackie McNamara (@Jackie_Mc4) February 10, 2020
McNamara, who won four league titles at Celtic and earned 33 caps for Scotland, also played for Wolves, Aberdeen, Fakirk and Partick Thistle.
He has managed Thistle, Dundee United and York City and returned to Dunfermline Athletic as a consultant last year, having started his playing career with the club.
There has been no confirmation of McNamara's illness or his condition.
The thoughts and prayers of everyone at #CelticFC are with Jackie and his family. pic.twitter.com/3yeSvVwInJ
