Craig Brown dies aged 82 as football pays tribute to former Scotland manager

Iconic Scottish football manager Craig Brown has sadly passed away at the age of 82 following a long battle with illness.

The former Scotland manager was confirmed to have died in hospital on Monday with tributes flooding in following the sad news. Brown got his career as a head coach underway at Clyde before moving to the Scottish set-up as under-21 boss.

He then succeeded Andy Roxburgh as manager of the senior side and made history as he led them to Euro '96 before securing a place at the World Cup in France two years later. His side failed to get out of a group that included Brazil, Norway and Morocco - albeit that being Scotland's last appearance at the tournament.
