Former Rangers player Paul Gascoigne was rushed to intensive care after being discovered collapsed at his residence by a mate.
Gazza, aged 58, is reportedly now in a stable condition and on the mend.
The Ibrox and England legend was reportedly found in a semi conscious state by a pal on Friday night at his house in Poole, Dorset before being rushed to an intensive care unit.
Gascoigne has now been placed in an acute medical unit and his close friend Steve Foster has shared a message from those who have rallied around him. He said: “[Gazza would] like to thank everyone for the support he’s received so far from so many old friends who wish him well and want to see him back to his best”.
And he added: “Paul is in hospital, which is the best possible place for him to be right now.”

The 58-year-old has battled a series of health and personal issues in recent years and returned to don Light Blue during a charity match as Rangers supporters awarded him a mammoth reception after he scored in the match.
Now the football hero faces a fresh battle off the pitch.
Paul Gascoigne, one of England’s most gifted and unpredictable footballers, made a lasting impact on Scottish football during his spell with Rangers from 1995 to 1998. Signed from Lazio for £4.3 million, Gascoigne quickly became a fan favourite at Ibrox with his flair and tenacity.
In his debut season, Gascoigne was instrumental in securing Rangers’ eighth consecutive league title, scoring a memorable hat-trick against Aberdeen to seal the championship. That same season, he was named both PFA Scotland Players’ Player of the Year and SFWA Footballer of the Year.
Though his time in Glasgow was punctuated by controversy, including high-profile incidents on and off the pitch, Gascoigne’s footballing brilliance often overshadowed the chaos. He helped Rangers to two league titles, a Scottish Cup, and a League Cup before departing in 1998.
