  1. Gibraltar 0-4 Scotlandpublished at 21:17 British Summer Time 11 October 2015

    Scotland make their final change as goalscorer Chris Martin is replaced by Everton's Steven Naismith.

    Seconds later, Andrew Robertson's cross into the box sees Steven Fletcher try an acrobatic overhead kick that sails over the bar.

    I remember Rivaldo scored a belter from that position to give Barcelona a late win against Valencia a few years ago!

  2. Gibraltar 0-4 Scotlandpublished at 21:15 British Summer Time 11 October 2015

    Scotland slice through Gibraltar with an impressive flowing move but Steven Fletcher's touch takes the ball away from him rather than clear into the box.

    The hosts survive and it remains 4-0 to Scotland with a little under 15 minutes remaining.

    Scotland manager Gordon Strachan will consider his future over the next few days buoyed by seeing his players score four goals - at least - in Faro.

  4. CLOSE!published at 21:10 British Summer Time 11 October 2015

    Johnny Russell is swarming all over the tiring Gibraltar rearguard, this time sending in a low cross that is just out of reach of the sliding hat-trick-seeking Steven Fletcher...

    The Portuguese evening is lifted by the sound of a Scottish piper.

  5. Gibraltar 0-4 Scotlandpublished at 21:08 British Summer Time 11 October 2015

    Substitute Johnny Russell gallops into the box and lifts his effort over the onrushing Jamie Robba but also over the bar. That could and should've been Mambo number five for the Scots.

    Scott Brown applauds the Scotland fans as he trots off, passing his captain's armband to Darren Fletcher. Johnny Russell replaces Matt Ritchie as Gordon Strachan shuffles his pack.

  9. Gibraltar 0-4 Scotlandpublished at 21:03 British Summer Time 11 October 2015

    Half an hour remaining in Portugal and, with Scotland leading 4-0, Gordon Strachan will be keen to add a few more before the curtain falls on his side's Euro 2016 campaign.

    The Tartan Army continue to give their side tremendous backing, they really are a credit to the national side.

    Dave in Balloch: "This campaign has been, despite some high points disappointing. I am happy for Strachan to learn from, let's remember, his 1st full campaign as Scotland boss. Go on Gordy, sign on the dotted line and take us to Russia!"

    Euan, Strathaven: "We let ourselves down v Georgia, but we did well against Ireland and Poland - our main competitors for second and third place. Germany's failure to beat Ireland and their loss in Warsaw did us in more than our loss in Georgia and that can't be blamed on Strachan. Good that Wales and N Ireland have qualified, but I doubt if either would have got out of our group had they switched places with us. I hope Gordon Strachan stays, and I will be renewing my season ticket to watch them in the 2018 qualifiers."

    Scotland score their fourth of the night and it's a second goal for Steven Fletcher as he collects a ball from Chris Martin before opening up his body and arrowing a low shot beyond Jamie Robba. A lovely goal and Scotland are beginning to turn the screw.

    "Textbook cross and header goal from Scotland. perfect cross on the right from Hutton and Fletcher headed in from 4 yards. Hutton has been very impressive so far - he hasn't had much defending to do though!"

    After coming close to a goal in the first half, Steven Fletcher heads in Scotland's third in Faro.

    Alan Hutton cross. Steven Fletcher header. Scotland goal. That's the first time Fletcher has scored in back to back internationals. Hutton has given Gibraltar a torrid time tonight and his dink into the box offered Fletcher the perfect chance to bullet the ball beyond the despairing Jamie Robba.

    "It's been thoroughly satisfactory and could've been more. Chick Young could be in goal for Scotland over there...

    "I genuinely think it'll be five or six by the end of the game and Gordon Strachan, very good at managing players, will look at his guys on the bench and will say: 'which of these guys would've started had we needed to win the game?'

    "The manager will use the second half to give the guys a cap who are worthy of a cap."
