The 43-year-old appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court earlier this week, after he pleaded guilty to assaulting Stuart Johnstone and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.
His lawyer explained: "He was taken to hospital in an ambulance after suffering a fit. He was seen by doctors and deemed fit to leave.
"This is extremely out of character, he has nothing else outstanding.
"This is a serious matter because of the location. He is deemed stable for community disposal."
Sheriff Collette Gallagher stated: "This is serious because of the fact that it was directed towards staff, they are entitled to a safe environment."
Rainey was fined £420.
