Kostas Tsimikas dedicated his goal in Greece's World Cup qualifier against Scotland to two of his late former teammates. Tsimikas has lost two of his teammates over the last 12 months: Greece international George Baldock was discovered dead in his swimming pool last October, while Diogo Jota died in a car crash three months ago.

Speaking after Greece's defeat in Glasgow, Tsimikas said: "The goal I scored is dedicated to my close friend, Diogo Jota, of course to [late Greece teammate George] Baldock, and also to those who are no longer with us." On the game itself, Tsimikas said: “There is disappointment. "We knew that Scotland is strong in the goal and we should have been more careful in these phases.

But everything is in the game and we have to accept what happened.” Meanwhile, Liverpool confirmed this week that supporters have raised more than £225,000 ($300,000) to help fund a grassroots soccer programme in honour of Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who also died in the crash in July.
