The Bank of Scotland has unveiled a limited-edition £20 note featuring an image inspired by Scott McTominay’s famous overhead kick. It has been created to celebrate Scotland’s return to the World Cup, and fans will have a chance to win 50 of the 100 notes in the coming weeks.
The design blends traditional banknote elements with imagery inspired by McTominay’s World Cup qualifying goal for Scotland against Denmark. The team sealed their place at a first men’s World Cup since 1998 with a dramatic 4-2 win at Hampden Park in Glasgow last November, when McTominay scored the first goal with an overhead kick.
The midfielder 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.”
Fifty notes are up for grabs through a mix of collector auctions and a prize draw, with the proceeds supporting Crisis Scotland.
The online auction is live and runs until 11am on Friday 26 June, and fans can enter the prize draw until 11am that day.
