Ardrossan star Billy Gilmour has joined Premier League side Norwich City on loan.

His performances led him to be called up to the Scotland side for this summer's European Championships.
He made his international debut in a warm-up match against the Netherlands, before starring against England at Wembley and being named Star of the Match.
His joy was cut short as a positive covid test ruled him out of Scotland's final group match, which ended in defeat to Croatia.
