Former Celtic skipper was so inspired by Souness' work with butterfly skin charity he wanted to get involved
Celtic legend Scott Brown has told how he was “inspired” by former Rangers boss Graeme Souness to give hope to disabled children.
“To see him almost break down on stage with little Isla and see their bond together, him going up north to see her and calling her his wee pal, it meant a lot.Debra is the charity for people suffering from epidermolysis bullosa , known as butterfly skin, a potentially fatal genetic skin condition which causes constant pain because of unstoppable internal and external blistering.
Souness was described by the 15-year-old Pride of Scotland award winner as tough on the outside and “squishy” inside. He added: “I have done telly with Graeme and I know him from him playing at Rangers but to see him talk so passionately about something was overwhelming.“Like me, Graeme probably didn’t really know too much about the condition when you start – how it affects people, the soreness of the touch, the feel.
