No problem (except possibly in the home crowd at Ibrox), turn the steering into the reversing position so that the engine is at the other side of the wheel and then lift the other leg into the engine bay and proceed as above!
They're actually great fun to drive, especially if you enjoy being laughed at and have no fillings to be shaken out by the absence of rear suspension as we'd know it.
