A PHOTO of Scott McTominay's legendary goal that helped Scotland qualify for the World Cup 2026 has been framed and put on display at a major gallery.
The Napoli midfielder scored a spectacular overhead kick just a few minutes into Scotland's final qualifying match against Denmark last month, in which they came away 4-2 winners and reached their first World Cup for 28 years.
A picture of McTominay's audacious shot by Ross MacDonald has now been put on display in the Great Hall of the National Galleries Scotland: Portrait and fans can see it for free throughout the Christmas period until January 5.

A spokesperson for the National Galleries said: "Fans said the goal belonged in an art gallery, and now it is.
"A moment of football magic, free for everyone to enjoy."
Sharing a video of the picture being put up, the Scotland National Team said on Instagram: "Some moments deserve to be framed.
"Head to the Great Hall of the Portrait gallery in the heart of Edinburgh where this iconic moment can be seen on display for free until Monday, January 5."
The image of McTominay mid-flight made the front pages of several papers the next day and has been compared to phenomenal goals from the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Gareth Bale.
McTominay's goal was followed up by strikes from Lawrence Shankland, Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean, with Tierney and McLean both scoring in the dying moments of the game to send Hampden Park into pandemonium.

Scotland found out earlier this month they will play Haiti, Morocco and then Brazil in next summer's tournament, with the first two matches taking place in Boston and the final one in Miami.
Following uproar over extortionate ticket prices for the tournament, FIFA introduced cheaper tickets this week for national teams' "most loyal fans".
The cheapest tickets will now be on offer from $60 (£45) as part of a new "Supporter Entry Tier" which will be available specifically to supporters of qualified teams.
However, only 10% of participating member association's allocated tickets will fall under this most affordable category.
As a result, the number of $60 tickets for each game is likely to be in the hundreds, rather than thousands.
