I wish him all the best too. What is the problem or is that being kept quiet?

From todays Scotsman

FOOTBALL legend and former Hibs forward Gordon Durie has spoken of the mysterious illness which forced him to step down as East Fife boss.

The 46-year-old – known as Jukebox – feared he had suffered a stroke after collapsing in the showers following his side’s clash with Queen of the South in August.

And he revealed he had decided to quit after advice from doctors who told him he had a viral infection and warned him it would be “silly” to return to managing East Fife in the next two months.

Durie, a former Scotland and Rangers star, described his collapse after the Queen of the South match as “frightening”. He said: “I took a turn after the match and on the night it happened I went through some tests to find out what caused it. Then I basically went through a whole MOT in the days after it to find out what was wrong.

“I had just come out the shower and felt strange. My right-hand side went into a spasm but I never passed out. I was still conscious right through it all so although it was all frightening, I never thought it was life-threatening.”
