A limited edition £20 note featuring an image inspired by Scott McTominay’s famous overhead kick has been unveiled by the Bank of Scotland.
It has been created to celebrate Scotland’s return to the World Cup after the team qualified for the men’s international tournament for the first time since 1998.
McTominay’s Goal Immortalised
The design combines traditional banknote elements with imagery of McTominay’s goal for Scotland against Denmark.
McTominay scored the first goal when Scotland beat Denmark 4-2 to qualify for the World Cup.
McTominay said: “Reaching the biggest stage of world football is something every player dreams of, and I know it means everything to our fans.
Moments like that belong to everyone who follows the team, so seeing my goal featured on a Scottish banknote feels incredibly special.”
Limited Edition and Charity Support
Just 100 of the notes have been printed.
50 are available through a mix of collector auctions, a prize draw, and two pop-up areas in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Auction and prize draw proceeds will support Crisis Scotland, a national charity for people experiencing homelessness.
The online auction will run until 11:00 on Friday 26 June and fans can enter the prize draw until 11:00 on the same day.
The two pop-up areas will be in Glasgow and Edinburgh where fans can take a guess on a combination of numbers to open a vault and get their hands on one of the limited edition notes.
Bank of Scotland’s Celebration
Emma Noble, chair of the Scottish executive committee at the Bank of Scotland, said: “Securing qualification in such dramatic fashion is a moment fans will never forget, and we wanted to mark it in a way that’s rooted in Scottish identity.
Like football, banknotes have long been part of our country’s story, and this limited edition £20 note combines those two traditions with a modern, creative twist.
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, and we’re grateful for his support in helping raise funds for Crisis as they work to end homelessness across Scotland.”
Scotland are set to face Haiti on 14 June and Morocco on 19 June in Boston and Brazil on 24 June in Miami.
