Brown died at the age of 82 in late June following a long, brave battle with illness.

He also led the team to Euro 1996 and narrowly missed out on beating England over two legs in a play-off for Euro 2000. Brown managed to defeat the Auld Enemy on their own patch thanks to a memorable Don Hutcheson goal but couldn't find the second needed to overturn a 2-0 first-leg defeat.
He resigned the national team position in 2001 before spells at Preston, Motherwell and Aberdeen, where he subsequently enjoyed a long spell as a director.
