Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has revealed midfielder Andy Halliday ‘nearly lost his eye’ during this afternoon’s match with Livingston.
Halliday, filling-in at left-back in the absence of Borna Barisic, started this afternoon’s 1-0 victory over Gary Holt’s men at Ibrox, with Scott Arfield riffling home the winner.
It looked like Halliday’s game might be finished after he sustained a nasty-looking head knock after falling over the advertising hoardings, and his manager has verified the severity of the injury, whilst praising his player’s grit and determination to carry on:
Despite picking up all three points against a tough opponent, the result leaves Rangers 10 points behind bitter rivals Celtic in the race for the Premiership title, albeit having played a game less.
Halliday hasn’t always been first-pick under Gerrard at Rangers, but does this incident underline the fact he possesses the commitment and desire some of the other Gers players perhaps lack at times?
