SCOTLAND'S World Cup and Nations League opponents Greece have set a new unwanted UEFA record - they were hammered for five different offences by their fans in just one game.

Steve Clarke's side will face the Greeks four times next year after being paired against them in the Nations League play-offs and the World Cup draw, with Scotland due to travel to Athens in March and November.

And the Greek FA have been hammered by UEFA for an incredible five different offences during their last Nations League home game against England last month.

They were walloped with a total fine of £47,765 - which was for their fans entering the pitch, fans throwing objects onto the pitch, lighting fireworks and smoke bombs, blocking passages and shining lasers at players from the stands.

Their biggest fines were for the lasers and throwing objects which landed them with a £31,425 fine out of the total.

Scotland will receive an allocation of 1,600 for the first game in March at the Olympiacos' Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium for what will be their first visit to Greece for 30 years.

Greece has yet to name the venue for the World Cup qualifier later next year.
