Scott McTominay has iconic goal immortalised

Few former Manchester United players have left Old Trafford with their stock higher than Scott McTominay.

Since his move to Napoli, the Scotland international has flourished in the Italian Serie A  – winning the title in his first season and earning a Ballond’Or nomiantion.

But while his club career continues to evolve abroad, it is a moment on home soil that has now been permanently etched into Glasgow folklore.

As first reported by The Herald Scotland, McTominay’s stunning bicycle kick against Denmark – a strike that has helped secure Scotland’s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup – has been immortalised in mural form just yards from where it was scored.

The artwork appeared on a tenement gable end on Somerville Drive, only a short distance from the west stand goal at Hampden Park where his acrobatic effort flew into the net.

The overhead kick, widely described as one of Scotland’s greatest-ever goals, set the tone for a dramatic 4-2 victory over Rasmus Hojlund and Patrick Dorgu’s Denmark side on November 18.

It was the first of four goals that sealed qualification for the World Cup – Scotland’s first appearance at the tournament in 28 years.

Standing almost two metres high to connect with the cross, McTominay’s right boot sent Hampden into a frenzy inside just three minutes.

The goal has since become symbolic of a new era for Steve Clarke’s side.

The mural is believed to be the work of Global Street Art, Europe’s leading hand-painted advertising company, and follows calls from Mount Florida residents to commemorate the strike on a large scale.

For a player who came through United’s academy and scored crucial goals in Manchester derbies and cup ties, this latest tribute underlines how far his journey has taken him – from Carrington prospect to national icon.
