Livingston striker Tete Yengi has won a shock World Cup call-up for Australia, despite never having represented the Socceroos.
The 25-year-old was quietly shipped out on loan to Japanese side Machida Zelvia in January after scoring just two goals in the league for Livingston.
But he's been a revelation in Japan after scoring three goals in the Asian Champions League, which helped to take his side all the way to the final.
He was on the receiving end of a headbutt in the final, where his team were beaten 1-0 by Saudi Arabian moneybags Al Ahli in extra-time.
Yengi still has a year left of his deal left at Livingston and was retained by the club following their relegation.

And he's been called-up for the first time by Australia for their World Cup camp in Florida and could make their final squad which will be announced later this week.
Yengi hasn't represented Australia at any level in his career....unlike his brother Kusini Yengi.
The Aberdeen striker has won 11 caps, but a dismal campaign meant he wasn't in manager Tony Popovic's plans.
But Yengi's call-up is bad news for Hibs striker Ante Suso, who has been released from the training camp and is set to miss out.
