The big Aussie loves the stick and reckons it will fire the Jambos up even more in the heat of the battle.
Kye Rowles has warned the Easter Road boo boys they’re wasting their time - because their derby day slurs only spur Hearts on.
“Look, I know for all our boys we'll be spurred on by getting booed and things like that. I just can't wait to be in there. It's good. It gets you going. Gives you a lift in energy, especially late on, or if you're struggling for a period in the game and you hear that, you know, you get a little burst of energy and that little kick of fight that you need. It gets you going.
There’s no danger of the Socceroo getting carried away with the new manager bounce though. Not yet anyway. He said: “We're obviously still not at the 100 per cent confidence that we'd like to be. I don't think you could be in the position that we're in. “Yeah, the derby record’s not bad. Hopefully we can build on it again on Sunday. There's a lot on the line. No one wants to be at the bottom. And, you know, even though we're both down there, that's actually a lot to play for. You just don't want to be down there. It's not a good feeling.
In the last two months Rowles has flown back Down Under on two occasions and also to Indonesia on World Cup qualifying duty. He’s been to Azerbaijan with Hearts and has trips to Brugge and Copenhagen after another international break before Christmas.
