The Bank of Scotland has unveiled a limited-edition £20 note featuring an image inspired by Scott McTominay’s famous overhead kick. The note celebrates Scotland’s return to the men’s World Cup for the first time since 1998.
The design blends traditional banknote elements with imagery from McTominay’s World Cup qualifying goal against Denmark last November. His overhead kick helped secure a dramatic 4-2 win at Hampden Park, sealing Scotland’s place at the tournament.
McTominay said: “Moments like that belong to everyone who follows the team, so seeing my goal featured on a Scottish banknote feels incredibly special. 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 the Scottish executive committee at the Bank of Scotland, said: “Scott’s overhead kick is already regarded as one of the nation’s greatest ever goals. It’s been a privilege to work with him to bring it to life in such a unique way.”
Only 100 notes have been printed. Fifty are available through an online auction and a prize draw, with proceeds supporting Crisis Scotland. The auction runs until 11am on 26 June, and fans can enter the prize draw until the same time.
