Celtic first-team coach Tommy Burns is facing a fresh battle against skin cancer, the club has confirmed.
The 51-year-old was diagnosed as suffering from a melanoma in March 2006 and had responded well to treatment.
But a spokesperson for Celtic said: "Celtic today confirm that first-team coach Tommy Burns is to receive continued cancer treatment.
"Tommy intends to continue as first-team coach and head of the youth academy during this treatment."
The spokesperson added: "Clearly, Celtic requests that the privacy of Tommy and his family is respected at this time."
Burns began playing for Celtic in 1974 and also won eight Scotland caps in a distinguished career which ended as player/manager of Kilmarnock.
He went on to mange Celtic, the club he supported as a boy, and steered the club to a Scottish Cup win over Airdrie in 1995.
Speaking after being first diagnosed with cancer two years ago, Burns told BBC Sport: "This happens to a lot of people, so it's just a question of taking each day as it comes.
"Through this, I've not been alone. I have my faith, which is fantastic, and I've had lots of messages of goodwill."
Lets hope Tommy Burns wins another battle, never nice to hear somebody having to be diagnosed with this deadly disease.
Tommy Burns
Not nice at all especially to beat it once, hope he's got all the strength to beat it again.
Good to hear though that he can carry on working as doing good job up there for Celtic.
