Lionel Messi will go home with a Gorgie memento from Qatar as Hearts star Cammy Devlin swapped shirts with him at full-time.
Messi made his 1,000th career appearance against the Socceroos as his ludicrous 789th goal for club and country helped them into the quarter-finals. That came at the expense of an Aussie side that had plenty of love in Scotland, with three players from Hearts as well as representatives from Celtic, Dundee United and St Mirren in the squad that narrowly lost out.
Despite their last 16 elimination it was an experience to remember for Australia who rubbed shoulders with some of the best on the planet and made it to the knockout stage for only the second time in their history. And while Tynecastle midfielder Devlin didn't get off the bench in Qatar, he'll certainly have something to remember his first World Cup by.
