The Bank of Scotland has unveiled a limited-edition £20 note featuring an image inspired by Scott McTominay’s iconic 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 goal in the World Cup qualifier against Denmark last November. Scotland secured their place with a 4-2 win at Hampden Park, where McTominay scored the opener with an overhead kick.
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, with 50 available to fans through a mix of collector auctions and a prize draw. Proceeds will support Crisis Scotland. The online auction is live until 11am on Friday 26 June, and the prize draw closes at the same time.
