Former Hibs’ midfielder Ray Wilkins in critical condition after suspected heart attack

Former Hibs’ midfielder Ray Wilkins is in a critical condition at St George’s Hospital in Tooting after suffering a suspected heart attack.

He is currently in intensive care after being put into an induced coma.

The 61-year-old England international who also played for Manchester United, AC Milan, Rangers and QPR, has been working as a pundit for Sky Sports and Talksport.

As a player he won the FA Cup with Manchester United in 1983 and the Scottish league title with Rangers in 1989.

He made 84 appearances for England and captained his country 10 times.

Alex Miller signed him for Hibs in September 1996 and he made his debut in a 1-0 victory over Raith Rovers at Easter Road that month.

In total he played 17 times for the club. His last appearance came against Rangers at Easter Road on 4 January 1997 under Jim Duffy.

Former Hibs’ player Tam McManus tweeted: “Was a kid at Hibs when Ray Wilkins signed. an absolute gent of a man with no airs or graces at all and great with all the young boys. Had time for everyone. Rally liked him. Hope he pulls through.

Ray’s former team mate Keith Wright liked the tweet.

Former Chelsea captain Frank Lampard wrote on instagram “All thoughts and strength with this man and his family tonight. An absolute gentleman.”

The Edinburgh Reporter sends our best wishes to Ray and his family at this difficult time.
