Former Rangers midfielder and youth coach Kevin Thomson remains in touch with Steven Gerrard as the League Two champion prepares for the step up.
Thomson's Kelty Hearts got over the line in the fourth tier title race, blowing away all competition with five games to spare.
Gerrard, now of Aston Villa after leaving Rangers in November, made sure to send a congratulatory text – and he's always been there to lend an ear when things weren't looking so great for Thomson.
