STEVEN GERRARD believes Andy Halliday was ‘extremely lucky’ to avoid serious injury after a nasty incident during the win over Livingston.
Halliday again filled in at left-back as he deputised for Borna Barisic and equipped himself well as Scott Arfield netted the only goal of the game.
The 28-year-old would play the closing stages with a bandage on his head after tumbling off the park in front of the Copland Stand as he attempted to put a cross into the box.
Gerrard said: “Very, very lucky boy. Extremely lucky boy. He has gone over the advertising board and there has been a chair upside down.
“The chair leg or part of the chair has gone and he has got a gash underneath his eyebrow.
“He is an extremely lucky boy but I thought he was excellent today and showed a lot of grit.
“He has come into the team and at Killie he was really strong and today he was really strong.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
