A Tartan Army fan from Glasgow has died in his sleep during a trip to Germany to support Scotland at the Euros.
Christopher wrote: "After the dream of qualification became a reality, and the scramble for tickets and flights, after the disaster that was the opening match, it all feels so unimportant now! "He was many things to different people, a father, a husband, a brother, a friend, a colleague, a boss to many but to me he was my Uncle Colin, always on the wind up.
Richard Palmer said: "He will be missed a wonderful guy my parting memory knocking on the train window as we left Munich for Stuttgart early on Saturday morning RIP Colin."
