Greece manager Gus Poyet has turned up the heat ahead of tonight’s Euro 2024 qualifier in Dublin as he accused the Irish camp of making “cheap” and untrue accusations about him using Irish spies to get information on Stephen Kenny’s outfit ahead of their clash in Athens in June.

And the former Sunderland boss also said he was “surprised” to hear claims from both Kenny and Matt Doherty that Greek players dived and faked injury to get Doherty sent off in that game almost four months ago.
