Everton’s Old Bhoy Stubbs relishing return to Paradise

ALAN STUBBS admits he faces an emotional return to Celtic when Everton continue their pre-season with a friendly in Glasgow tomorrow.

It was towards the end of Stubbs’ five-year spell at Parkhead that he was first diagnosed with cancer, a battle the 34-year-old has finally won.

But the veteran centre back recalls those dark days that saw him have many months of treatment. The support Stubbs received from Celtic and their fans has never been forgotten by the Liverpool-born player.
