Scotland's long-awaited return to the World Cup is being celebrated in an extraordinary way, with a limited-edition £20 banknote featuring an image of Scott McTominay's remarkable goal. The Bank of Scotland has unveiled the commemorative note, which showcases McTominay's stunning overhead kick during a 4-2 victory over Denmark that secured Scotland's place at next month's finals. This marks Scotland's first World Cup appearance since 1998.
Limited Edition Commemorative Note
Only 100 of these special notes have been produced, and fans will have the opportunity to win them through a series of charity events scheduled in the coming weeks. The note features McTominay's acrobatic opener at Hampden Park in November, which quickly became part of Scottish football folklore as one of the national team's greatest goals. The new design places the goal alongside an image of the iconic Forth Rail Bridge.
McTominay's Reaction
The Napoli midfielder expressed his astonishment at the honor. "Things like that don't happen often, so to have the opportunity to put obviously a great goal on top of a banknote is something that is a bit surreal to be honest and I'm just extremely proud," McTominay told the BBC. He added, "I want to go to the World Cup and give a great account of ourselves and show everybody that Scotland is a really good team."
World Cup Group and Schedule
Scotland has been placed in Group C alongside Haiti, Morocco, and Brazil. The tournament kicks off on June 11 and will be hosted across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
