Scott McTominay, the Napoli midfielder, is set to be immortalized on a limited-edition £20 Bank of Scotland bank note. The special design commemorates his memorable overhead kick for Scotland against Denmark, a pivotal goal that helped secure the nation’s first World Cup qualification in 28 years.
This unique banknote celebrates Scotland’s thrilling 4-2 victory at Hampden Park last November, which marked their return to the World Cup stage for the first time since France 1998. McTominay’s spectacular acrobatic finish has already become a legendary moment in Scottish football history, and the bank has now given it a permanent place in banknote form.
McTominay Expresses Pride as Limited Edition Banknote Supports Homeless Charity
McTominay conveyed his deep emotion upon receiving this 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 similar enthusiasm. “Scott’s overhead kick is already regarded as one of the nation’s greatest ever goals,” she remarked. “It has been a privilege to work with him to bring it to life in such a unique way.”
Only 100 of these banknotes have been produced. Fifty are available to the public through collector auctions and a prize draw, both concluding on June 26. All proceeds from these initiatives will benefit Crisis Scotland, a charity dedicated to combating homelessness.

Scott McTominay, the Napoli midfielder, is set to appear on a limited-edition £20 Bank of Scotland bank note. The special design celebrates his famous overhead kick for Scotland against Denmark, a goal that helped seal the nation’s first World Cup qualification in 28 years.
The note commemorates Scotland’s dramatic 4-2 victory at Hampden Park last November, which sent the country to the 2026 World Cup for the first time since France 1998. McTominay’s acrobatic finish that evening has already been cemented in Scottish football folklore, and the bank has now immortalized it in banknote form.
McTominay Pride as Limited Edition Banknote 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.
