Scotland's Under-21's cruised to an easy 3-0 win over Lithuania's juniors thanks to goals from Ross McCormack, Charlie Mulgrew and Steven Fletcher.
It is Scotland's first victory of their European Championship qualifying campaign.
McCormack - who also hit the woodwork - put the hosts ahead on 44 minutes with Mulgrew doubling the tally in first half injury-time. Fletcher completed the win with a well-taken strike on the hour.
Scotland had lost their first two games in the group, against Finland and at home to Denmark.
Old Firm target also Steven Naismith went close with a long-range effort, also shooting over the bar and testing the visiting keeper on a couple of occasions.
Lithuania rallied briefly after Scotland's two goals before the break, with Hearts keeper Jamie McDonald saving from Georgas Freidgeimas and Evaldas Grigaitis, but Fletcher ended the fightback with his 59th strike.
