Scotland's Under 21s were brushed aside by a rampant Holland as the European champions ran riot in Roosendaal.

Luigi Bruins scored a brace with two long-range strikes, before Otman Bakkal and Leroy George completed the rout.

An under-strength Scotland side missing Steven Fletcher, Ross McCormack and Jamie McDonald failed to shine.

Caretaker manager Maurice Malpas made five changes to the side which defeated Lithuania last week, but the Scots were unable to continue their winning run.

The hosts started brightly and Bruins drove home a right-footed shot from 20 yards to break the deadlock after 14 minutes.

Charlie Mulgrew curled a 35-yard-free kick inches past the right post as the Scots searched for an equaliser.

But the hosts remained in control, Beerens almost sweeping home a nice ball from Royston Drenthe on a counter-attack.

Drenthe could have doubled the lead shortly before the break, but his effort flew over.

Malpas brought on Greg Cameron and Paul Dixon for Naismith and Considine in the 55th, with Scott Cuthbert replacing Elliot three minutes later.

In the 72nd minute, Bruins grabbed the second goal – again beating Smith with a 30-yard drive.

Moments later, unmarked Bakkal connected from a corner to score from eight yards.

With a minute to go, Leroy George got the ball past Smith for the fourth.
