RIP Craig Brown 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Responsible for many of our initial Scotland following memories and a big part of the reason we still follow religiously today!

On top of that he was such a knowledgeable, yet humble guy when I did the Beyond Canal Park Podcast episode with him, I will never forget that day!
