McTominay goal on banknote as Scotland mark Cup return

Scotland's long-awaited World Cup return is being marked in unique fashion, with an ‌image of Scott McTominay's goal for the ages appearing on a ‌limited-edition 20 pound banknote.

The Bank of Scotland has unveiled the note featuring McTominay's ‌jaw-dropping overhead kick in a 4-2 victory over Denmark that sealed Scotland's place at next month's finals, their first appearance since 1998.

Only 100 of the commemorative notes have been produced, with fans ‌able to win ‌them ⁠through a series of charity events in the ​coming weeks.

McTominay's acrobatic opener at Hampden Park in November quickly entered Scottish football folklore as one of the national team's greatest goals, and now takes pride of place alongside an image of ⁠the Forth Rail Bridge on ‌the ​new design.

The Napoli midfielder said it felt surreal.

"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.

"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."

Scotland are in Group C with Haiti, Morocco and Brazil at the World ​Cup, which kicks off on June 11 and is being ​played in the ⁠United States, Mexico and Canada.
