Did McTominay find his mum in the crowd?
Scott McTominay finds it "difficult to talk about" his remarkable overhead kick for Scotland against Denmark.
A goal so significant that it has been immortalised in a large mural on the side of a building in Glasgow.
However, the modest midfielder is more comfortable discussing a similar goal he scored in Saudi Arabia, which he claims was even better.
This goal was scored during training with Napoli in the weeks following that unforgettable night at Hampden.
"It was better. It was higher," the 29-year-old told Scotland of an attempt he believes surpassed the 2.53m leap he executed to set his country on the path to their first men's World Cup in 28 years.
"I hate to say it, but I beat it and it was in training. I'm devastated. As soon as it happened I was thinking 'I should have saved it for a game.'"
Napoli teammate Billy Gilmour was with him in the Middle East but was in the treatment room at the time and missed the moment.
"I came outside and Scott says 'Bill, you won't believe it, I've just scored exactly the same overhead kick but better,'" Gilmour confirmed.
"I still need to see the video for proof..."
Serie A Scots: Return to Napoli
Available on BBC from 10:00 BST on Friday, May 1
Scotland spoke with McTominay and Gilmour in Naples, having originally visited the Scotland duo in Italy in November 2024.
Since then, much has happened: a Serie A title, Champions League football, and, notably, qualification for this summer's World Cup finals.
McTominay's iconic goal was the first in the thrilling 4-2 victory over Denmark that secured Scotland's place in the United States.
While "extremely grateful" for the mural, the Ballon d'Or nominee is reluctant to discuss it, feeling "big-headed" when doing so.
However, Gilmour is a willing advocate for his close friend. He was injured and emotionally involved as a fan in the Hampden stands that night.
"He doesn't give himself enough credit for what he's done, for sure," Gilmour said.
"The goals for Napoli last season, even with Scotland in the tough moments it is Scott who has got us the win or the goal.
"Kids look up to him, idolise him, but Scott is already focused on the next game. He always wants something new, something better."
Risotto, titles & World Cup dreams
Glasgow is not the only city to feature artwork of McTominay; a mural in Naples' Spanish quarter is also dedicated to him.
Both he and Gilmour have made a significant impact since arriving from Manchester United and Brighton respectively in the summer of 2024.
The Serie A title was secured in spectacular fashion as McTominay scored his first major bicycle kick of 2025 while Napoli clinched the title against Cagliari.
He was subsequently nominated for the Ballon d'Or and joined the ranks of Ronaldo, Kaka, Pirlo, and Zidane by being voted the Italian player of the season.
Gilmour has also thrived, establishing himself as a key part of Antonio Conte's midfield, albeit in a less flamboyant manner than his friend.
Already close from their Scotland days, their friendship has grown stronger.
The warmth between the two is evident as they discuss cooking risotto together, providing a rare glimpse into their lives off the pitch.
They share their hopes and ambitions for the World Cup, their views on Scotland head coach Steve Clarke, and their objectives for the tournament.
Napoli fans, who follow their team with near-religious fervour, clearly appreciate what McTominay and Gilmour have contributed.
