Scott McTominay, a prominent figure for both Napoli and the Scottish national team, is set to be immortalized on a limited-edition £20 banknote. The Bank of Scotland has revealed a unique design inspired by McTominay’s memorable overhead kick scored for Scotland against Denmark. This spectacular goal was instrumental in securing Scotland’s first World Cup qualification in 28 years.
The commemorative note celebrates Scotland’s thrilling 4-2 victory at Hampden Park last November, a triumph that propelled the nation to the 2026 World Cup finals, marking their first appearance since France 1998. McTominay’s acrobatic finish has already become a legendary moment in Scottish football history, and the bank has now chosen to preserve it on currency.
McTominay Expresses Pride as Limited Edition Banknote Supports Homeless Charity
McTominay conveyed his deep emotion upon receiving this unique recognition. “Moments like that belong to everyone who follows the team, so seeing my goal featured on a Scottish banknote feels incredibly special,” he stated. “Being able to work with Bank of Scotland to turn it into something that also supports Crisis, and the work they do to tackle homelessness, makes me even more proud.”
Emma Noble, chair of Bank of Scotland’s Scottish executive committee, shared her enthusiasm for the initiative. “Scott’s overhead kick is already regarded as one of the nation’s greatest ever goals,” she commented. “It has been a privilege to work with him to bring it to life in such a unique way.”
Only 100 of these special banknotes have been produced. Fifty of them will be made available to the public through collector auctions and a prize draw, with both events concluding on June 26. All proceeds generated will be donated to Crisis Scotland, a charity dedicated to combating homelessness.

McTominay Pride as Limited Edition Bank Note Raises Money for Homeless Charity
McTominay was clearly moved by the recognition.
“Moments like that belong to everyone who follows the team, so seeing my goal featured on a Scottish banknote feels incredibly special,” he said. “Being able to work with Bank of Scotland to turn it into something that also supports Crisis, and the work they do to tackle homelessness, makes me even more proud.”
Bank of Scotland’s Scottish executive committee chair Emma Noble was equally effusive. “Scott’s overhead kick is already regarded as one of the nation’s greatest ever goals,” she said. “It has been a privilege to work with him to bring it to life in such a unique way.”
Just 100 notes have been produced, with 50 available to the public through collector auctions and a prize draw, both running until June 26. Proceeds will support Crisis Scotland, a charity tackling homelessness.
