Billy Gilmour sends Brighton fan message as ex-Rangers kid celebrates Europa League prize

Billy Gilmour has sent a message to the Brighton fans after an incredible season.

Roberto De Zerbi's men will play European football for the first time ever after confirming sixth spot in the English Premier League with a draw against Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City superstars last night. The result has made it mathematically impossible for Aston Villa to leapfrog the Seagulls in the table on the final day.

The Amex outfit will now head into the Europa League next season much to delight of all the players, staff and everyone connected with the club. The dressing room descended into a party atmosphere last night as they celebrated a huge success for the club.

Former Rangers and Chelsea kid Gilmour was right in the middle of the proceedings and has now reacted with his own online post. Uploading a series of pictures from the game with the champions he wrote: "Europa League next season. Thank you to all the fans for your support."

The Scotland international has had to be patient for his big chance following his summer move from Chelsea but after putting in a stunning display in the demolition of Wolves he was rewarded with much more game time in recent weeks. He's faced Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Man City in the past month with his assist at St James' Park sparking big interest online.

Dark Blues boss Steve Clarke will also be a keen onlooker with the national team gearing up for two big Euro 2024 qualifying matches in a matter of weeks. They face Norway on the road before hosting Georgia.

Match sharpness and fitness for Gilmour will come as an added boost for the Tartan Army.
