SCOTLAND'S women's football team have paid tribute to a New Cumnock girl who died last week.
Nine-year-old Naomi Ferrans was tragically killed following an incident involving a tractor towing a trailer on September 18.
The community had rallied round the family, leaving floral tributes, as well as raising over £14,000 to help the family out.
Naomi was a keen footballer, having starred for Cumnock Juniors Girls FC, who released a poem in tribute after her passing.
Prior to their Nations League match against Belgium at Hampden on Tuesday, the team placed a bouquet of flowers behind one of the goals, along with a Scotland jersey with 'Naomi 19' on the back.
Scotland captain, Rachel Corsie carried out the flowers, while goalkeeper, Lee Gibson carried the top with Naomi's name on it.
There was also a moment of silence held before kick off to remember Naomi.
💙 Ahead of kick-off we pause to remember a much loved member of our football family, Naomi Ferrans, who tragically passed away last week.
