Australia, Queensland and North Queensland great Matt Scott is recovering in hospital after suffering a mild stroke on Sunday.

The Cowboys issued a statement on Tuesday saying doctors were confident the medical episode suffered by the 268-game veteran was unrelated to football.

Scott is in hospital in Brisbane with doctors initially saying they expect him to make a full recovery.

Scott, who previously announced he would retire at the end of the 2019 season, played 22 matches for both Queensland and Australia.

Mbye had an allergic reaction if I recall correctly. Sounds like Matt Scott had a TIA.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery
