Former Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has been nominated for the 2025 men's Ballon d'Or award.
The Napoli and Scotland player was one of the 30 nominees for the prize, with the winner set to be announced on 22 September.
The nomination comes less than 12 months after McTominay was allowed to leave boyhood club Manchester United in order to join Napoli in a £25m move.
McTominay's nomination means he's the first Scot to be shortlisted since former Rangers striker Ally McCoist in 1987.
McTominay, 28, was instrumental in Napoli's title success, scoring 12 times in 34 league appearances as he was crowned Serie A's player of the year.
Paris St-Germain forward Ousmane Dembele, 28, is a leading contender for the prize following his dazzling campaign for Luis Enrique's side, which resulted in Champions League glory in Munich.
