KILMARNOCK and Hibernian have sent their best wishes to former manager Bobby Williamson after he revealed he was battling cancer.

The 56-year-old had a tumour removed from his nasal cavity and has been undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions in India.

Kilmarnock wrote on their Twitter account: “Everyone at Kilmarnock FC sends their best wishes to our 1997 Scottish Cup winning manager Bobby Williamson as he undergoes cancer treatment.”

The Easter Road club added: “Hibernian would like to wish Bobby Williamson well with his ongoing cancer treatment - we’re all hoping for a full recovery.”

Williamson played for the likes of Clydebank, Rangers and West Brom before moving to Killie as a player and the Ibrox club also sent their support.

“Everyone at #RangersFC sends their best wishes to former striker Bobby Williamson as he undergoes treatment for cancer,” they said on Twitter.
