GEORGE HIRST insists the World Cup is still the greatest show on earth.

The Scotland new boy grew up dreaming of gracing international football's biggest stage.

And while Hirst is too young to remember Diego Maradona punching his way into football folklore at Mexico '86 he credits another handy South American for his most iconic World Cup moment.

Luis Suarez's infamous 'save' for Uruguay that cost Ghana a quarter-final shock in 2010 is cast in the striker's mind just like Maradona's 'Hand of God' against England is cemented in Tartan Army legend.
