Jan Age Fjortoft, capped 71 times for Norway, is at Ibrox to watch his son Markus, who is in the Hamilton team.
"I chat with him every day, he likes to check in on how things are going and remind me what a fortunate position I'm in," Fjortoft junior told our colleague Martin Watt this week.
"He's obviously had that career, so he knows what this life is about and that you shouldn't take for granted that you are able to make a living doing something you love."

Rangers v Hamilton Academical (15:00)
Now then, there's a massive incentive for Rangers to put Hamilton Accies away, knowing that victory will send them above Celtic at the top of the Premiership.
Last weekend, Steven Gerrard's men shortened the gap on their rivals to a solitary point.
For Accies, can they replicate their 2-0 win at Ibrox from two years ago?
