Scotland penalty taker

Scott McTominay is our current Scotland penalty taker call, with Che Adams next in line if the order changes.

McTominay is the best current Scotland penalty call. He won and converted the decisive spot kick against Greece in March 2025, and there is no stronger recent senior evidence pointing elsewhere. Che Adams remains the clearest fallback in the pool, but McTominay is the name that fits the current national-team evidence best.

If you searched for Scotland penalty taker, the hierarchy at the top is the quickest answer we are willing to publish right now. The evidence trail underneath shows why that order makes the cut.

For World Cup 2026, Scott McTominay is the current first-choice call for Scotland, with Che Adams the closest backup if the tournament order shifts.

A fresh in-match penalty can move this page quickly, especially if it contradicts the current lead or happens with the full-strength tournament pool on the pitch.

For the more conditional boards, one more clean senior penalty is often enough to sharpen the backup line or flip the order outright.
