FORMER Gillingham player-manager Andy Hessenthaler was celebrating Hull City's back-to-back promotions on Saturday night following the goalless draw at home to Swindon, which elevated them into the Championship.

Hessenthaler, who joined the Tigers on loan for the rest of the season in January, stayed on the substitutes' bench.

The former Gills boss, who has two years remaining on his contract, is expected back at Priestfield at the end of the season.
