Andy Murray hasn't been seen on court since Wimbledon — and the Scot looked a little different as he donned a Tam o' Shanter complete with ginger wig for a charity match against Roger Federer in Glasgow.
Murray, who revealed he will not return for the Australian Open in January unless he is 100 per cent fit, came through an hour and 40 minutes against the Swiss master.
But Federer, who joined in the fun by wearing a kilt in the second set, won 6-3, 3-6, 10-6 (tiebreak).

Before Federer started larking around in a kilt, Murray played a competitive enough set of tennis against the Swiss master to suggest he could return in earnest in the new year.
In front of his own people, 11,000 of them in Glasgow's SSE Hydro Arena, Murray showed he has not forgotten how to hit a tennis ball.
The 30-year-old Scot moved with less than sublime ease but showed he can still run when he needs to.
His pre-match assessment that he was playing at 75-80 per cent looked about right as he nominally managed an to take the second set against Federer in this match for UNICEF and local children's charities.
