Lincoln have been promoted to the Championship for the first time in 65 years with five games to spare after a 2-1 win at Reading.
Their second-tier return marks an incredible rise by the Imps, who were in non-League just nine years ago.
Lincoln earned promotion to League Two in 2017, then to League One in 2019, and seven years later, they will be playing Championship football for the first time since 1961.

Lincoln boss Michael Skubala has guided the Imps to promotion
Under Michael Skubala, the runaway League One leaders are now unbeaten in 24 matches and sit 12 points above second-placed Cardiff.
Lincoln have become the first team in the EFL to earn promotion this season.
Their stoppage-time win at Reading means the Imps have now won 27 matches in League One this term, only taking more victories during an EFL campaign in 1975/76 (32) and 1951/52 (30).
