A Scots schoolboy was left stunned after sending his sporting hero Alfredo Morelos a special Christmas message.
Little Carson McMillan, 5, couldn't wait to send his favourite Rangers player a festive greeting this year.
But he never expected the Colombian striker to respond by sharing the touching clip with his 253,000 Instagram followers.
Speaking to the player in the video, Carson says: "Merry Christmas Alfredo, have a good day from Carson."
His proud dad, William McMillan, 34, reveals Carson became a superfan of Morelos three years ago.
He said: "He's been a fan of Morelos ever since he got his first season ticket three years ago.
"He is his favourite player because he scores all the goals and he's the best in the world."
The family, from Paisley, are proud Rangers fans and Carson goes to all home and away games with his dad and grandma.
Football-mad Carson has even met his hero on a number of occasions.
He continued: "He has met Morelos a lot after the games and just absolutely loves meeting him. Alfredo is so good with Carson and always a gentleman when he meets him."
William, who works for a construction company, explains the video was Carson's idea and is a tradition for the youngster.
The five-year-old also sends the 2018/19 Rangers player of the year birthday wishes.
And the schoolboy, who plays for his local team, was stunned when he shared his latest clip.
He said: "It was actually Carson's idea to send the video to Alfredo, he has done it for the past few years and even sends him birthday messages.
"But we didn't expect him to share it on social media.
"Carson was very happy and so was I, just seeing my boy so happy."
The popular player, affectionately known by supporters as El Bufalo, wished fans a "Merry Christmas to all".
On Christmas Eve, he shared a sweet snap posing in front of the tree with his wife Yesenia and daughter Leonela.
