"To beat Djokovic and Federer is an epic achievement. To demolish Federer in an Olympic final is breathtaking.

"It’s a Murray masterclass which should make everyone in Scotland extremely proud."

Sports Minister Shona Robison added: "Andy’s performances were incredibly impressive. It was an honour to be here today to cheer him on in his first Olympic Final and I was absolutely thrilled when he took the Men’s Singles Gold for Team GB as well as the Silver in the Mixed Doubles with partner Laura Robson.
