A Rangers-daft dad battling terminal cancer was given a special birthday present he'll never forget from his Ibrox hero.
, has been given just 12 months to live by doctors after being diagnosed with stomach cancer.
He has loved the Light Blues his whole life and even moved to Glasgow from Northern Ireland to be a closer to the Ibrox club.
And in an incredible birthday surprise, Noel, who turned 65 last Saturday, was sent a special signed Europa League match shirt by his favourite player and countryman Steven Davis.
Noel told the Record: "All can say I’ve never been so proud and happy for what Steven Davis and Rangers Football Club has done for me.
"He has made all my dreams come true."
A picture posted on Twitter by his son Noel Jnr showed the beaming dad proudly holding up the incredible gift from the veteran Ibrox midfielder.
Davis personally organised the heartfelt gesture “off his own back” after meeting Noel at a charity event at the Gers’ Hummel Training Centre in October.
Noel Jnr said the surprise, which arrived just as the family were heading out for birthday meal, "really lifted his spirits".
We previously told how Noel was nominated by his son for the Rangers Charity Foundation's Dream Day and met gaffer Steven Gerrard, had a shirt signed by striker Jermain Defoe and posed pictures with the first team.
He also managed to get a chat with fellow countryman Steven Davis.
Speaking at the time, he said: "He's always been my hero, obviously coming from Northern Ireland.
"A few times I’ve missed him when I was hoping to get a photograph and autograph, so I was so glad we were actually face to face and we could talk.
"I’ve been a Rangers fan all my life and was nominated as I’ve only got a 12-month life span left in front of me.
"I take a lot of pain relief but today has actually lifted my pain for some reason because I can concentrate on something I never thought I would get to do.
"Everything through my life has always been Rangers.
"Even when I’ve been down, a good result from the side actually helps pick me up.
"The experience makes a massive difference to me. It is something that will hold in my memory and I will have a smile thinking back about it.
"I’ll always be grateful. I would give my life away to do it again."
The Rangers Charity Dream Fund helps bring smiles to the faces of those who are in need of a boost.
It is used to give children and adults whose lives have been impacted by disability, illness or other difficult circumstances unforgettable experiences throughout the season.
These include the behind the scenes Dream Day which involves attendees meeting the entire first team squad and watching them train at the Hummel Training Centre before heading to Ibrox for lunch and a tour.
