Leicester loanee Benkovic dedicates Celtic goal to late Srivaddhanaprabha

Leicester City loanee Filip Benkovic has dedicated his goal for Celtic against Hearts to the late Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, the owner of the Foxes who died in a tragic helicopter crash.

Following the Foxes' draw with West Ham a fortnight ago, the helicopter that usually picks up Srivaddhanaprabha from the King Power Stadium crashed in the stadium's car park , claiming the lives of all five people on board.

Tributes have poured in for the man who was at the helm of the club's greatest triumph, their miraculous Premier League title win.
