Roxburgh, also known as Rosbroch, is a village, civil parish and now-destroyed royal burgh. It was an important trading burgh in High Medieval to early modern Scotland. In the Middle Ages it had at least as much importance as Edinburgh, Stirling, Perth, or Berwick-upon-Tweed, for a time acting as de facto capital (as royal residence of David I).

Its significance lay in its position in the centre of some of Lowland Scotland's most agriculturally fertile areas, and its position upon the River Tweed, which allowed river transport of goods via the main seaport of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Its position also acted as a barrier to English invasion.

The town stood on a defensible peninsula between the rivers Tweed and Teviot, with Roxburgh Castle guarding the narrow neck of the peninsula. Nothing remains of the town except some ruined segments of castle ramparts. Its site lies to the south of modern Kelso and Floors Castle, which lie on the other side of the Tweed. The Duke of Roxburghe owns the site.

Stein's assistant Alex Ferguson (the Aberdeen manager) was put in temporary charge and oversaw victory in the playoff against Australia and book Scotland's place in the World Cup finals in Mexico. Scotland failed to progress beyond the group stages and after Ferguson rejected the offer to become Scotland manager on a permanent basis, Roxburgh was named as his successor on 1 July 1986 - ahead of more experienced and distinguished candidates including Billy McNeill, Jim McLean, Kenny Dalglish and Tommy Docherty. He would remain in the role for more than seven years.
