Cove Rangers will be playing Championship football next season after securing the League One title with a 1-0 win against Dumbarton.
Captain Mitch Megginson scored the only goal as Paul Hartley’s side claimed the title.
It has been a remarkable journey for the Balmoral Stadium team since winning promotion from the Highland League in 2019.
They can now look forward to playing the 2022-23 campaign in the second tier of Scottish football – and the Cove support can’t wait.

David King wrote: “Brilliant! Looking forward to some big games next season!”
Neil Connell added: “Fantastic achievement, great to see the ex-HFL clubs doing well.”
Fans from other clubs were also quick to congratulate the Aberdeen side.
Andrew Taylor wrote: “Well done Cove! As a Ross County fan I’m proud to see any former Highland League club be successful!”
Airdrie fan Adam Brown added: “As an Airdrie fan want to say congrats lads, to go all they games unbeaten and grind out results is pretty impressive. Hope to see you in the Championship next season if we get through the play-offs.”
