Soccer Player Puts His Faith in God to Heal Injury

GLASGOW (Reuters) - Rangers defender Marvin Andrews has put his career at risk by relying on faith rather than surgery to fix a knee injury and is vowing to play through the pain to help his side win the Scottish Premier League.

The devout Christian has ignored medical advice that he needs an operation on his damaged cruciate ligament and told club bosses God can help him through this crisis.

However, the Glasgow club are concerned their Trinidad and Tobago international is putting his playing career in jeopardy.

Rangers issued a statement on the club Web Site saying: "Marvin Andrews sustained cruciate ligament damage to his left knee in the game against Dundee on Sunday, March 13. It is the medical opinion that he requires an operation.

"Marvin fully understands the advice he has received, however, he has declared himself fit and wishes to continue training and playing."

Andrews, 29, was recently ordained as a deacon at Kirkcaldy's Zion Praise International Church in Fife.

Last month he made his debut as a hands-on healer after claiming he been cured of a persistent groin strain that way.

Andrews said that Pastor Joe Nwokoye had helped clear his groin strain while at Kirkcaldy club Raith Rovers and allowing him to continue his playing career.

The former Livingston defender turned down a transfer to Dundee United in 2003 by saying: "God spoke to me (on Wednesday) so I knew what my decision was going to be before I arrived at Tannadice.

"Manchester United could approach me, but if God tells me not to go I won't."

He also turned down moves to England during his spell at Livingston and said: "God is my agent. God could send me to sign a one million pounds deal but money isn't key to my existence."
