Former Rangers star puts in 12 hour-shifts as NHS driver to help those battling coronavirus on frontline

Former Rangers player John Macdonald has been putting in 12-hour shifts as an NHS driver to help those on the frontline.

John, who won the 1981 Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup in 1982 and 1984, has been working at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth hospital as a driver and porter.

He told the Daily Record: “I’ve been driving essential doctors to people’s houses. I’m an out-of-hours driver for NHS 24.

“They tell us who to go and see and I drive the doctors around to people’s houses.

“It is scary and more frightening than playing in any Rangers game.

"You don’t know what could happen.

“With Rangers you always knew that if you got beaten, you’d come out the next week and win again.

“If this hits you badly you don’t know what the outcome is going to be.

"That’s the bad thing about it.”
