Former Scotland manager Craig Brown has died at the age of 82.
Brown was the last man to lead Scotland to a World Cup finals 25 years ago and he also led his country to the European Championship in 1996.
Tributes have poured in throughput the day for Brown.
Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said (via League Managers Association): “It was with great sadness to hear of the passing of Craig Brown, a thoroughly wonderful man, and my thoughts are with his family.
“Craig and I had been friends since Scotland Schools Team in 1957/58, with Craig as captain. When I was given the honour of managing Scotland at the World Cup finals in Mexico there was one man I had to take, for all his attributes and knowledge, that was Craig.
“He had a great career as a manager of several clubs but his service for his country stands out. In an industry that questions a man’s capabilities, Craig never wavered in that situation, he always kept his head and his composure. Well done Broon!”
