And now he has spoken out about the assault and revealed he is on the road to recovery.It was a bit of a shock to the system as you can imagine, he told talkSPORT.But I’m fully on the mend and it’s nice to be back on the bench alongside everyone at Rangers. The club were brilliant, so to be back on the sidelines against Hearts and Motherwell for two victories was good.What I would like to say, at times football gets a bad rep but it’s been quite humbling the support from everybody in football.I have had lots of messages and I can’t thank people enough.
