Ciro Ferrara took his Azzurrini to Easter Road for a test this evening and they were absolutely dominant.

Alessandro Florenzi’s early free header from a Giulio Donati cross was cancelled out by Gary Mackay-Steven, but the second half was one-way traffic.

Immobile restored the advantage by bursting through the middle of the Scottish defence and Sansone hit the bar before Insigne curled a wonderful free kick into the top corner.

Samuele Longo added a fourth late on to complete the rout.
