'Lacklustre first half'published at 17:53 British Summer Time 29 March 2015
Alasdair Lamont at Hampden
BBC ScotlandThe scoreline is already looking very emphatic but it perhaps a disguises a rather lacklustre first half performance from the Scots, albeit against a dogged Gibraltar side, who only began to buckle towards the end of that period. They do though have their first competitive goal, which their coach David Wilson admitted yesterday was a landmark he'd love to achieve at Hampden.
There are plenty in dark blue who haven't performed to their capabilities in what was for long spells a ponderous display. But it's hard to argue with a three-goal cushion.

HALF-TIMEpublished at 17:47 British Summer Time 29 March 2015
Scotland have restored some order after seeing Gibraltar score their first-ever competitive goal. Gordon Strachan's men trot up the tunnel with a three-goal cushion and the half-time orange will taste a little sweeter after those four goals.
Will Strachan persevere with the three-man rearguard?

A fourth goal for Scotland before the break as Ikechi Anya dances down the left before his low cross is swept home by the unmarked Steven Naismith. Much more like it from the hosts, who are beginning to motor...
HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 17:38 British Summer Time 29 March 2015
Steven Fletcher is in the mood for more goals after ending his six-year drought; he stabs an effort beyond Gibraltar keeper Jamie Robba but is denied by the post. Scotland beginning to warm to the task now but, defensively, they still look vulnerable.

Alasdair Lamont at Hampden
BBC ScotlandThat Gibraltar equaliser has flattened what had momentarily threatened to be a sense of anticipation around Hampden as Scotland finally made the breakthrough. The visiting fans though are euphoric at witnessing their first competitive goal. They sliced right through Scotland's reduced defensive unit and policeman Lee Casciaro finished in some style.

Anya has been asked to play in a position he's not used to. Anya hasn't dealt with it particularly well. It's because of the system they're playing it's happened.
You can't let it affect you; you've got to get on with the job in hand.
