    Daniel Duarte replaces Anthony Bardon because of an injury as Gibraltar huddle round and think of how they can snatch a second goal before the end.

    Steven Fletcher's second goal of the game triggered the mother of all downpours and the players are "drookit" with the latest soaking.

    The sodden Tartan Army break into song; perhaps more to keep the circulation going amid the latest downpour than anything else!

    Scotland have a fifth goal and it's courtesy of a sumptuous cross from substitute Jordan Rhodes and Steven Fletcher doesn't need a second invitation as he rises unchallenged to bullet a header beyond the exposed Jamie Robba.

    Barry Bannan, on as a substitute for Ikechi Anya, is leaping about the Hampden turf like Billy Elliot, eager to impress and add to Scotland's tally.

  7. Give us a goal!published at 18:31 British Summer Time 29 March 2015

    Following the goal blizzard of the first half, we've been short-changed in the second. Plenty of time for either side to find the net again but the pace of the game has dropped to power walk levels...

  8. 'More like a friendly now'published at 18:30 British Summer Time 29 March 2015

    This is more like a friendly now, with the result not in question and Gibraltar determined not to cave in completely. Scotland are entirely dominant but are far from clinical enough and, as such, the game is a bit of a non-event.

    Scotland manager Gordon Strachan will be a happier man after seeing his side score four against the Euro 2016 minnows. Will they add to their tally before full time?

  11. Strachan shuffles Scotland packpublished at 18:24 British Summer Time 29 March 2015

    Scotland are coasting to victory and this Euro 2016 qualifier - with the hosts 4-1 up - has the feeling of nodding off on the couch after a prodigious Sunday roast; barely aware of the Antiques Roadshow title music in the background as your eyelids close and your paper falls onto your face.

    Steven Naismith's work is done for the day; Jordan Rhodes trots on.

  13. CLOSE!published at 18:20 British Summer Time 29 March 2015

    Steven Fletcher could and should make it five for Scotland; but his attempted feather at Alan Hutton's cross fails to trouble Jamie Robba's goal.

    "At any level that's a great chance," laments BBC Sportsound pundit Billy Dodds.

  14. Scotland 4-1 Gibraltarpublished at 18:19 British Summer Time 29 March 2015

    Scotland, looking to stretch Gibraltar and get Ikechi Anya into the game, have failed to get in behind their opponents in a low-key second half. The Watford speedster has shown Gibraltar a clean pair of heels a number of times but the ball has evaded him...

    Gordon Greer gets an early touch as he clears the ball as Gibraltar launch an early attack. Scotland keeper David Marshall then does well to gather a low, fizzing cross into the box.
