Rangers icon Brian Laudrup undergoes hip replacement surgery as he posts before and after pics on social media
RANGERS icon Brian Laudrup has revealed he has gone in for hip replacement surgery.
The Gers nine-in-a-row hero posted before and after pictures on his social media account as he went under the knife.
After posting an image with his right leg marked up to assist the surgeons with the words 'Ready', he posted a picture of himself with thumbs up, signalling that everything had gone smoothly.
Now 52, more than 20 years have passed since Laudrup hung up his boots at the end of an illustrious playing career.
He won three league titles with Rangers as the Gers racked up nine league titles in a row during the 90s, winning the football writers' player of the year twice and players' player once.
He was named in the Euro '92 team of the tournament as Denmark shocked the continent to land the crown.
Meanwhile, Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst has highlighted Alfredo Morelos' importance to the club as he issued a contract update on the hitman.
The Colombian has rediscovered his best form under the Dutchman and returned from international duty with a double in the thumping of Hearts.
