Cammy Devlin will learn Hearts lesson but it's a Paulo Sergio mantra they need against Fiorentina - Ryan Stevenson

The Rangers game went the complete opposite way for Hearts to what I wrote in last week’s column.

It was disappointing. Hearts went into it with a good bit of hope that they were going to get a positive result from a positive performance and it didn’t happen. Cammy Devlin ’s red card was a blow but I think he’s got that in him. He plays on the edge and when you've got a player like that, you always run the risk, especially in bigger games when emotions are high and they maybe get the better of you. You end up doing stuff you’d never normally do.

It will be a harsh lesson for him. It just shows you how important it is not to make those sorts of mistakes in the big games. But at the same time, we’ve all done it. I’ve done it. It’s just about him learning from it now.

I had the tackle I did on James McPake in the derby, but I managed to get away with it then on the park. Then I got a five-game ban after it!

Would I do it again? Probably, just knowing the way I am as a person, or the way I was as a player. If I’d been sent off and we’d lost that game, then it would have been me that let everybody down.

But that was just me, I always played on the edge and I’m probably not as smart as Cammy. If you're that kind of player, it's difficult at every level.

You look at guys like Roy Keane, they were the same in the middle of the park. Cammy just has to take his medicine and try to come back bigger, better and stronger.

When everything goes well for you - in life in general but especially on the football park - it has a funny way of something sh*t just happening or you do something that brings you straight back down to the ground, very, very quickly.

He’s gone from making his Australia debut and playing well, to this. It’s
