Scotland star Craig Gordon stunned fans at Almondvale by turning out to sit in the dugout for Dumbarton.
But the nine million pound man admitted his playing days may be behind him as he looks towards a future in management.
He has been hampered by a career-threatening knee problem and turned out as part of Dumbarton’s coaching staff.
And while he’s not committing to hanging up his boots just yet, he is eyeing a future in management.
He said: “Ian Murray called me up on Thursday to ask if I wanted to help you and get some experience.

“I was delighted to take him up on his offer.
“I’d prefer to aim for management but you need the experience of coaching and going through the ranks.
“I’m not ruling out playing again but as it goes on, increasingly it gets harder.”
He added: “I’ve enjoyed being part of the coaching team.
“As a player you focus on your own game at warm-ups and in the dressing room.”
Dumbarton won the match 3-2.
