Tearful Luis Palma dedicated his deadly double for Honduras against Mexico to his beloved Grandmother, who passed away recently.
The Celtic star was the key man in his country's 2-0 win in the Nations League quarter-final first leg.
After the game, Palma brandished a t-shirt with the image of his loved one printed on it.
And the winger was visibly emotional as he spoke to the media after the game about the loss of a woman who was very important in his family life.
He said: "It has been a very emotional moment for me because two weeks ago I lost my grandmother, a very important person in my life who left a mark on me.
"I give honor and glory to God for this gift that he gave me and I hope that my granny is happy wherever she is."
The player was also delighted with his showing in the game that leaves Honduras in a strong position to reach the semi-finals while he also alluded to his tough spell back in Glasgow where he has struggled for matches.
He said: "There is another game left that will be more important than this one. I asked God for strength, I dreamed so much about this moment, these last few months have not been as I wanted and scoring two goals is a huge joy for me."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
