It will be an emotional return for the player that played with Celtic for five years and is one of the 29 platers to score over 100 goals for the club.
He’ll likely make an appearance at half time for fans to give him a cheer, as he battles such a cruel disease.
His family announced the news just a say after the diagnosis, ensuring fans that they’d keep their social media followers updated with their father’s condition.
McGarvey, who was capped seven times by Scotland, ended his career at Clyde, with the player manager role.
We wish him all the best as he battles cancer, and hope that the Celtic family will unite tomorrow when Frank is on the pitch.
