Scott McTominay’s overhead kick to feature on limited-edition £20 banknote

The Bank of Scotland is issuing a limited-edition £20 banknote featuring Scott McTominay's overhead kick to mark Scotland's World Cup return [1]. Only 100 notes will be produced, with half given away via auction and a prize draw [1]. The note's design commemorates McTominay's qualifying goal against Denmark in November, which helped secure Scotland's first men's World Cup appearance since 1998 [1]. The Manchester United midfielder stated, "Moments like that belong to everyone who follows the team, so seeing my goal featured on a Scottish banknote feels incredibly special" [1]. Proceeds from the initiative will support the homelessness charity Crisis Scotland [1]. The Bank of Scotland, established in 1695, is the oldest operational bank in Scotland and the longest continuous issuer of banknotes in the world [2]. It is a subsidiary of Lloyds Banking Group and retains the legal authority to print its own sterling notes [2]. This commemorative issue follows a long tradition of Scottish note issuance, a practice also continued by other Edinburgh-based institutions like the Royal Bank of Scotland, a major retail bank and part of NatWest Group [3][4]. Emma Noble, chair of the bank's Scottish executive committee, said, "It’s been a privilege to work with him to bring it to life in such a unique way" [1]. The online auction and prize draw for the 50 available notes are open until June 26 [1].
