George Galloway has insisted that he'll still be in Irvine this Sunday to convince voters to maintain the union ahead of the independence referendum.

The MP will be at the Magnum on Sunday evening ahead of the September 18 vote despite being attacked while posing for photographs in London last week.

The politician suffered injuries to his head and torso after the attack on Friday evening.

Galloway was released from hospital the following day after being treated overnight at St Mary’s Hospital.

The 60-year-old vowed to press on with his 'Just Say Naw' tour ahead of the referendum.

Central Ayrshire MP Brian Donohoe, who arranged for George Galloway to bring his Just Say Naw tour to the Magnum in Irvine is reassuring everyone that the event will go ahead.

Mr Donohoe said: “It will take more than this to put George Galloway down and I have been assured by his team that apart from some bruises and a couple of cracked ribs he is happy to continue with his tour and will be here in Irvine on Sunday.”

Tickets, which are free, are available from the Magnum front desk from 7pm with the event starting at 7.30pm.

Those wishing to attend are advised to arrive early to guarantee entry.
