Former Aberdeen striker Hicham Zerouali has died in a car accident in Rabat, according to reports in Morocco.
The Moroccan international, who was 27, played for Aberdeen between January 2000 and May 2002, scoring 13 goals.
He was a great favourite at Aberdeen, where he was allowed to wear zero as the squad number on his shirt - a tribute to his nickname Zero.
After moving to Al Nasr in the United Arab Emirates, Zerouali returned to play in Morocco last year.
He had scored twice on Saturday for his club Royal Armed Forces in a league match.
He was also part of their trophy-winning side last month when they won Morocco's Throne Cup.
Zerouali scored three goals in 17 appearances for the national team and played for Morocco at the 2002 African Nations Cup finals in Mali.
He was also part of the national team last month when they played a friendly international against Burkina Faso.

He was a cracking wee player on his day, and scored some fantastic goals...
