Former Rangers striker Michael Mols has announced that he has undergone an operation on a brain tumour in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old, who played for Rangers between 1999 and 2004, announced the news of his operation on Instagram. Mols posed in a hotel bed with his head bandaged and held two thumbs up as he moved to assure his fans he was okay.<\/p>\n

Mols posted the picture of him in hospital to Instagram, thanking the hospital staff for taking care of him. He wrote: \u201cBrain tumour operation, done it! Next step: recovery, giving 100%, staying positive! Everybody who took care of me or look after me from Amsterdam UMC, THANK YOU!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Netherlands international received plenty of well wishing messages from former clubs and team-mates. Former club Feyenoord commented: \u201cOn behalf of all of Feyenoord: lots of strength and a prosperous recovery, Michael!\u201d<\/p>\n

FC Utrecht also sent him wishes, saying: \u201cWishing you a prosperous recovery on behalf of everyone at FC Utrecht, Michael!\u201d While ADO Den Haag said: \u201cBest of luck with your recovery Michael. We're thinking of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Rangers team-mates Sasa Papac, Peter Lovenkrands, Pedro Mendes and Craig Moore were among those who all sent their support for Mols in the comments section as well.<\/p>\n

Mols joined Rangers in 1999 from FC Utrecht and scored 45 goals in 126 games before leaving Ibrox in 2004 and returning to Utrecht as a two-time Scottish Premier League title winner in 2000 and 2003 under Dick Advocaat and Alex McLeish. He also lifted the Scottish Cup twice and the Scottish League Cup twice.<\/p>\n

Mols retired in 2009 after a two-year spell at Feyenoord where he won the Dutch Cup in 2008. He also played for Ajax, Cambuur and FC Twente in a career which saw his only move outside of the Netherlands once, taking him to Rangers – which proved to be by far his most successful.<\/p>\n
