Default Broken radiator expansion outlet

Ok, so what happens when you're trying to get the expansion hose off the radiator and you snap off the outlet tube? Like so...

Busted expansion hose Discovery 2 2003
Any way to repair, or new radiator?

Thanks,

Many have tried expoxy or JB Weld with various levels of success. I might be tempted to grind it close to flat (but not entirely so) and tap it to 1/8" NPT and then use one of these with an epoxy around it....

I did what Walt said on my Disco. I really should replace the radiator but it’s held perfectly for over a year now.
