Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GARY ANDERSON and Peter Wright failed to win a single leg as Scotland suffered a shock opening defeat at the World Cup of Darts.

Their first match was to be no easy task for the former world champions, with Gian Van Veen and Danny Noppert of the Netherlands standing in their way. The Dutch duo got off to a dream start as they broke into a 2-0 lead over the veteran Scots as Van Veen pinned back to back doubles. World number 16 Noppert made it 3-0, but the younger Van Veen took out a 130-finish in the following leg as the Dutch marched into a 4-0 lead. Despite missing three-time World Champion Michael Van Gerwen, the Dutch still look a formidable force. The current World Youth champion Van Veen made it a fantastic five in the race to eight legs in Frankfurt. Danny Noppert got back in the action, as Scotland conceded their sixth leg without reply, and they couldn't stop the rot as Noppert goes back-to-back. Team Netherlands walk off the stage for the break in play 7-0 up on Scotland, as the Dutch demolition duo moved within one leg. Scotland missed darts to prevent the whitewash, and that allowed Noppert to step up and check out 25 to dump Scotland out of the tournament. The Dutchmen averaged 100.2, compared to Scotland's measly 79.37. 'Stupid' - Josh Rock hits out at 'disrespectful' World Cup of Darts rival's on-stage antics Anderson and Wright only managed three darts at double in the entire match. Danny Noppert told Sky Sports after the match: "I didn't expect this before the game" talking about Scotland's form. Star man Van Veen said to Sky: "Even though they didn't play well, It was still Scotland, it was still Peter Wright and Gary Anderson, even though they didn't play phenomenal it was still the two legends of the game." The Netherlands move on to the next round, where they take on Czechia. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
