Former Rangers boss Steven Gerrard recorded an uplifting video message to young players before they took part in a tournament dedicated to an Anfield legend.
Gerrard was on hand to send his best wishes to the young soccer stars as the first-ever Spirit of Shankly Cup was staged at The Barony Campus, Cumnock.
Bill Shankly, who led Liverpool to three First Division championships, two FA Cups and UEFA Cup glory, was born in the Ayrshire village of Glenbuck and is widely regarded as one of the club's greatest managers.
