Glasgow is not the only place to capture McTominay in artwork, though, with a mural in Naples’ Spanish quarter dedicated to him too.<\/p>\n
Both he and Gilmour have made a huge impression since arriving from Manchester United and Brighton respectively in the summer of 2024. <\/p>\n
The Serie A title was delivered in spectacular style as McTominay unleashed his first major bicycle kick of 2025 as Napoli clinched the title against Cagliari. <\/p>\n
He would go on to be nominated for the Ballon d’Or, and joined the company of former Brazil striker Ronaldo, Kaka, Andrea Pirlo, Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo in being voted Serie A’s Footballer of the Year.<\/p>\n
Gilmour, too, has thrived, proving himself to be a key part of Antonio Conte’s midfield, albeit in a less eye-catching fashion than McTominay.<\/p>\n
Already close from their Scotland days, their friendship has grown. <\/p>\n
The warmth between the two is clear to see as they talk about cooking risotto together as we get a rare insight into their lifestyle away from the football field.<\/p>\n
They talk about their hopes and dreams for the World Cup, about Scotland head coach Steve Clarke, and their objectives for the tournament.<\/p>\n
And we speak to the Napoli fans, who follow their team with an almost religious fervour and clearly adore what McTominay and Gilmour have brought.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
