Barry Ferguson has provided an update on the condition of Bailey Rice after he was stretchered off in Rangers' goalless draw with Athletic Club this evening.
The midfielder was involved in a nasty collision just after the hour mark and received urgent medical attention.
Rice resultantly had to be replaced by Connor Barron, and although he lay down as he was carried off, the teenager made sure to clap the home supporters.

Speaking post-match, caretaker boss Ferguson provided an update on the condition of the Scotland youth international: "Bailey took a knock on the back of his neck," he said [TNT].
"He's fine, he's up and talking going about, so that's good."
Ferguson also gave his reaction to Robin Propper's dismissal. The Dutch centre-half was shown a red card early on in the game after bringing down Inaki Williams just outside the box.
"Looking back, I can see why the referee gave a red card," said Ferguson.
"We had to drop deep with two banks of four [after]. People had to put a shift in, and they did.
"There was a real collectiveness."
Next up for Rangers is a trip to face Aberdeen at Pittodrie in the Scottish Premiership this Sunday.
They then travel to the Basque region for the second leg of the quarter-final with Athletic, still undoubtedly within reach of the last four.
