Scotland penalty taker

Our final filed Scotland hierarchy had Scott McTominay first, with Che Adams next in line.

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.
