Scotland 0 Belgium 4: Hazard stars and Batshuayi scores twice in rout

Belgium rarely had to get out of second gear in Glasgow, but Eden Hazard was the catalyst for an emphatic win over an error-strewn Scotland.

Eden Hazard impressed and Michy Batshuayi scored twice as Belgium capitalised on some woeful Scotland defending to coast to a 4-0 win at Hampden Park.

A John McGinn error undid Scotland's hard work from the opening exchanges, with Romelu Lukaku the beneficiary, before star turn Hazard added a decidedly better second with a thunderous effort.

Charlie Mulgrew and Ryan Jack were then culpable as Batshuayi celebrated a quickfire double.

Tougher challenges lie in wait but Roberto Martinez will be content with what he saw from his World Cup semi-finalists.
