Scott McTominay

Scott McTominay transformed his international reputation during Scotland's Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, scoring crucial goals — including a dramatic late winner against Spain — that helped drag the team to the tournament. Long seen as a functional Manchester United squad player, his move to Napoli in 2024 has given him a more prominent platform, and he has thrived in Serie A. McTominay's combination of physicality, late runs from deep, and a surprisingly clinical finishing touch makes him Scotland's most potent goal threat from midfield. He and Lewis Ferguson together give Scotland a box-to-box midfield pairing with genuine attacking output.
