The Bank of Scotland has introduced a limited edition £20 banknote featuring an image inspired by Scott McTominay's famous scissor kick goal in a qualifier against Denmark, which helped the country qualify for the 1998 World Cup for the first time, reports lloydsbankinggroup.com.

Only 100 of these notes were reportedly printed, with 50 available at collector auctions, lotteries and some hoardings in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Part of the proceeds will go to a homeless charity in Scotland.
“These are moments that belong to everyone who supports the national team. Seeing my shot on a Scottish banknote is incredible,” said Napoli and Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay .

Let us recall that in November last year, it was McTominay's masterpiece goal in the 3rd minute that initiated the Scots' victory over the Danes – 4:2 (the British scored the necessary winning goals in injury time!) and the winning of their first ticket to the World Cup in 28 years.
As you know, at the 2026 World Cup, which starts on June 11 in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, the Scotland national team will play in the same group as the teams of Haiti, Morocco, and Brazil.
Previously, “FACTS” reported that the names of Diego Maradona and George Best were immortalized on banknotes in Argentina and Northern Ireland.
