FASHION SAKALA has been forced to take to social media to deny sick rumours that appeared on social media about him.

On Sunday posts did the rounds that he had been shot in a robbery it quickly spread on all platforms.

Sakala did go home to Zambia to visit family but he is now back in Glasgow.

The rumours were made up by internet trolls and the winger was quick to ensure supporters that he was fine as he took to his own social media channels.

Writing on Twitter and Facebook, he said: "God bless. Happy to be back and it was nice to see my family. I'm recovering well and I'm very fine to the rumours enjoying the cold in Glasgow. FS10 dreams don't die."

Meanwhile, Giovanni van Bronckhorst believes Rangers’ demoralising Champions League campaign affected them mentally.

The Ibrox side ended up as the worst-performing team in the history of the group stage of Europe’s elite competition, losing all six of their matches against Napoli, Liverpool and Ajax.

Their form in the cinch Premiership also dipped, with just two wins in their last five league games before the World Cup leaving them nine points behind leaders Celtic and placing Van Bronckhorst under pressure.

Asked if the European campaign had proved damaging, the Ibrox boss told Sky Sports: “Of course, it is there for everyone to see. Physically we had to play at a much higher level than we are used to.

“When you play against Napoli, Liverpool and Ajax and you lose games, your mental energy is also affected, which is normal because we are all human beings.

“Whenever you have a setback or a disappointing moment, it will affect your wellbeing. That has been hard.

“It has been harder for us in comparison to what we had last season, and we also had to do it in a shorter period because of the World Cup, so it has been very demanding.”
