A source close to the Scot told to the Scottish Sun: “Gary was in hospital from about 3am to 12 noon. His face is a mess. He must have at least 10-12 stitches in his top lip.
“It was totally unprovoked by just one bloke. He came from nowhere and just hit him simply because Gary is a former footballer.
“It beggars belief. Gary’s pretty shaken up by it all. He and Hayley have always tried to keep out of the limelight.”
