Brazil's World Cup rival, Scotland pays tribute to McTominay on 20 pound note

Scotland's qualification for the 2026 World Cup earned a different honor. Brazil's rival in Group C, the Scottish team printed on a 20-pound commemorative note the bicycle goal scored by Scott McTominay in the 4-2 victory over Denmark, a result that guaranteed their place in the World Cup after 28 years.

The move took place just three minutes into the match played on November 18th. After Gannon-Doak's cross, McTominay hit a bicycle kick to open the scoring. Shankland, McLean and Tierney completed the Scottish victory, while Hojlund and Dorgu scored for the Danes.

The special edition will only have 100 units. Fans can try to purchase the notes at online auctions, raffles and points of sale in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Leader of Group C of the European Qualifiers, Scotland once again qualified directly for a World Cup. The team's last participation was in 1998, in France.

McTominay is also part of the 26-man squad for the World Cup. In addition to Brazil and Scotland, Group C includes Haiti and Morocco.

The Scottish debut will be against Haiti, on June 13, in Boston. Afterwards, the team faces Morocco on June 19. The duel against the Brazilian team closes the group stage, on June 24, in Miami.
