LEGEND TAKES EB FIGHT TO HOLYROOD

- BY SALLY HIND

RANGERS legend Graeme Souness broke down in tears as he begged MSPs for better care in Scotland, for people living with the pain of "butterfly skin".

The football legend, who has campaigned for those affected by rare epidermolysis bullosa (EB) since being moved by the plight of 17-year-old Isla Grist, met public health minister Jenni Minto and other politicians and families at Holyrood.

The 72-year-old, vice president of butterfly-skin charity Debra UK, was filled with emotion as he shared the heartbreak of families living with the cruel disorder that can cause the skin to blister at the slightest touch.
