LONDON (Reuters) - Steven Fletcher hit a hat-trick for Scotland who, unable to qualify for Euro 2016, finished with a one-sided but hollow 6-0 victory over Gibraltar on Sunday.

Scotland's hopes of making the finals evaporated on Thursday when their 2-2 draw with Poland in Glasgow meant they could not finish in the top three in Group D which saw Germany and Poland advance as the automatic qualifiers and Ireland secure third place.
