Before halftime, Konstantinos Karetsas, the 17-year-old prodigy, put Greece ahead with a calm left-footed finish, leaving Scotland trailing.
The match was effectively sealed just 20 seconds into the second half when Christos Tzolis scored Greece’s third, confirming their progression to the top tier.
Scotland’s hopes of promotion were dashed, as Greece celebrated a memorable and comprehensive victory.
