Hang in the Louvre: Scott McTominay's iconic World Cup goal for Scotland in National Portrait Gallery
The picture shows a goal which secured Scotland’s place in the World Cup
A photograph marking the iconic goal which secured Scotland a place in next year’s World Cup is now on show in a national gallery.
In November, Hampden Park erupted as Scott McTominay smashed in a phenomenal overhead kick in a crucial qualifier clash against Denmark. A 4-2 victory secured Scotland's place in the FIFA World Cup finals for the first time since 1998.
Now the goal has been immortalised in a photograph by Ross MacDonald, hung in the Portrait gallery on Edinburgh’s Queen Street.
A spokesperson for the galleries said: “Fans said the goal belonged in an art gallery, and now it is.”
The photograph is free to see at the National Galleries: Portrait on Queen Street in Edinburgh until 5 January 2026.
