Benteke hoping to wind-up Villa boss Lambert with Belgium win

Aston Villa's Belgium striker Christian Benteke is looking forward to facing Scotland.

Benteke revealed he'll enjoy ribbing new boss Paul Lambert when he gets back to Birmingham later this week.

He said: "The manager didn't say anything to me before I came away on international duty, even though we play Scotland.

"Hopefully when I go back I will be the one doing the talking and hopefully I will be able to make some jokes about the result.

"If I score the winning goal against Scotland I don't know what he will say to me - but that's my job."
