Elliott was this week named as Newcastle's strength and conditioning coach alongside head fitness guru Mark Hulse.
Elliott: "It is a lovely set-up, and I have so much time for Danny Wilson.
"He is one of the reasons I kept going for the whole season.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my year there, even though it did not go well for me on the pitch.
They have had two games in Scotland, whereas last year it was the first game for both sides.
"They might be two notches above Newcastle in terms of what they have done game-wise. I am sure it will be a good game."
