Celtic great, Davie Hay, has praised staff at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow after undergoing a kidney transplant last week. The ex-Celtic player and manager has been recovering at home, having left hospital last Friday.
Hay, who was diagnosed with a hereditary kidney disease almost a decade ago, told The Glasgow Evening Times: “I have to say, I know that the Queen Elizabeth Hospital has come in for some criticism since opening, but I can’t praise the staff enough. They were absolutely fantastic from start to finish, and I really appreciate all they did for me.”
Known as a tough competitor in his playing days, it is none too surprising that Hay is eager to get back to Celtic Park. Indeed, he told the newspaper: “I’m back at home now and on the mend, and I’m feeling better every day. Hopefully I’ll be able to get back to Celtic games in no time at all.” It may be a while before the Hoops legend can do that though, as he faces twice-weekly check ups to ensure that his body does not reject the new organ.
We, like all Celtic supporters, look forward to seeing Davie back at Paradise in the coming months and hope to hear positive news soon.
