Scotland and Chelsea star Billy Gilmour trains with non-league side ahead of new season

English Premier League star Billy Gilmour was back training in Scotland – but not with who many would expect.

The Scotland midfielder was put through his places by Glenafton boss Ryan Stevenson ahead of his return to Chelsea's pre-season training.

The Champions League winner is a regular at Loch Park, and he decided to join in a session with the Ayrshire West of Scotland League side to keep himself ticking over.

The club posted on Twitter: "Earlier tonight, we were delighted to welcome Champions League winner, Chelsea player and Scotland internationalist Billy Gilmour to our second session of pre-season training.

"This session was geared towards raising the fitness levels of the players for the upcoming season, and we hope the fitness work will be of great assistance to our players and Billy before he returns shortly to Chelsea to start their pre-season preparations.

"Billy is a regular at our games whenever he is back in Scotland and everyone at the club would like to wish Billy all the best for the upcoming season with Chelsea."
