"Diego Maradona Jnr reckons Scott McTominay should be called Jesus Christ in Naples - a place where his father will always be God. McTominay is now an iconic figure for club and country."
"For Scotland, McTominay is now immortalised with a mural just yards from Hampden of his stunning overhead kick goal against Denmark which helped take us back to a World Cup for the first time in 28 years."
"Naismith is delighted that someone of his stature is wearing a dark blue shirt. He said: 'How high can Scott go? Well, he's pretty high at the moment.'"
"The biggest compliment I can pay Scott is that he has turned himself into the most professional athlete he can be. Everything else is secondary to him performing and being in peak condition."
Scott McTominay is celebrated as a significant figure in both Napoli and Scotland. Diego Maradona Jnr suggests McTominay deserves the title of Jesus Christ in Naples, where his father remains a legend. McTominay's contributions led Napoli to a Scudetto and a Ballon D'Or nomination. In Scotland, a mural commemorates his overhead kick goal against Denmark, marking a return to the World Cup after 28 years. Assistant coach Steven Naismith praises McTominay's athleticism, versatility, and professionalism, highlighting his importance for the national team in upcoming tournaments.
