Toby Sibbick admits Hearts ’ World Cup stars have been told to nab the big name shirts after their Group D opener against France.
Kye Rowles, Nathaniel Atkinson and Cammy Devlin are all in Graham Arnold’s Socceroos squad for the controversial tournament in Qatar. They kick off their campaign against holders France on Tuesday before further games against Tunisia and Denmark. While it’s those two matches that the lads in green and gold will see as the most likely to yield points, there’s no doubt that les Bleus represent the glamour encounter.
Getting close Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema and superstar strike partner Kylian Mbappe during the 90 minutes will prove a challenge. But the Tynecastle trio have been issued a post-match one by their teammates as well - get the shirts off their back if you possibly can. Sibbick said: "I hope they get a few good shirts against France. I’ve told them they need to get a few good ones. I’m happy for them. They have done well for us this season.
