He stated he lost his memory after falling to the ground and when he came round, he had lost feeling to the right side of his body.
Evidence was agreed at Glasgow Sheriff Court that Mr Delaney suffered a fractured leg and a dislocated shoulder.
McGuigan denied the charge of assaulting Mr Delaney to his severe injury and impairment.
A jury found the charge not proven and McGuigan, of the city's Garthamlock, was acquitted of the charge.
