McTominay celebrates Napoli milestone with club icon and Italian message | OneFootball

Scott McTominay’s brace against Torino allowed Napoli to return to the top of the Serie A table with four games remaining, and the Scotsman celebrated the achievement with a club icon in the dressing room.

McTominay has already scored 11 goals in Serie A this season, becoming the most prolific Scottish player in Italy’s top flight ahead of the late Denis Law, who had netted 10 with Torino in 1961-62.

McTominay’s brace inspired a 2-0 win over Torino last night, which the ex-Manchester United midfielder celebrated on social media, even posting a picture with club icon Tommaso Starace.

The latter is the historical Napoli head storekeeper, who has been working at the club for over 45 years.

Starace is one of the most popular figures at the club and had an excellent relationship with Diego Armando Maradona. As reported by Il Mattino, Maradona brought Starace to the Argentina camp for the entire 1990 World Cup, which was held in Italy.

McTominay posed with Starace and a MOTM award he received after his brace against Torino.

The Scotland midfielder also sent a message to Napoli fans on Instagram in Italian: “Your support is incredible.”
