Findlay Curtis grabbed FOUR assists in a scintillating display as Scotland under-21s thumped Azerbaijan - and was involved in a fifth goal.
The Rangers winger started Tony Docherty's first game in charge and was in the thick of the action as he directly set up four of the five goals in a 5-2 win at Kilmarnock's Rugby Park.
Curtis laid on goals for Barney Stewart, James Wilson, Tyler Fletcher and Bobby Wales.

Scotland responded well to going 1-0 down and Curtis went down the right before cutting onto his left foot to deliver a cross for Stewart to head home.
The Ibrox wide man was heavily involved in the second too, providing another cross which St Johnstone's Taylor Steven headed back across goal for Stewart.

Curtis was the provider for Wilson with another delivery from the right, which the Hearts striker glanced home.
For the fourth goal from Manchester United's Fletcher, the 20-year-raced onto a ball into the box and touched it round the goalkeeper, allowing the midfielder to take over and side foot into an empty net.
Curtis' fourth and final assist came as he drove at the away defence menacingly, before slipping a through ball into Wales, who did the rest.
A very productive night for the Rangers ace, who will hope to have some involvement with Sebastien Pocognoli's first team.
He was initially called up for the four Nations League encounters in this international break, before being sent to join up with the 21s along with Wilson, as it provided them with more of an opportunity of game time. They can still rejoin the first team, who have games against North Macedonia and Slovenia still to come.
Rangers starlet Kyle Glasgow came on as a sub in the game, making his 21s debut at the age of just 16.
