John Rankin has dealt with the huge highs of football and the bitter lows it can bring.
He's experienced cup joy with Dundee United but the pain of a final defeat still looms large.
The former midfielder has scored a worldie in a huge Hibs match against Celtic, but it brought unwanted attention.
Rankin has been offered a first step into management and rejected it, believing in the path he currently walks.
After hanging up his boots, the 38-year-old moved into coaching with Hearts' youth players, alongside a dabble in punditry.
Now he's assistant to Hamilton head coach Stuart Taylor, as they look to build a successful team in the Scottish Championship, one that could perhaps provide a springboard back to the Premiership promised land.
The Bellshill-born coach now joins us on the Lanarkshire Live Sport Podcast to discuss it all.
