Scott McTominay and Caroline Weir have both brought the curtain down on 2025 by each claiming Player of the Year and Goal of the Year honours following a public vote.
It caps a year in which both were also nominated for the Ballon D'or awards, with McTominay the first Scotland Men's player to appear on the list since 1987 and Weir becoming the first Scottish woman ever nominated for the award.
✨ History made.

McTominay added the EE Scotland Men’s Player of the Year award to an already impressive year that included a Serie A winners’ medal and the Serie A Footballer of the Year accolade with Napoli.
It marks a third successive win for the all-action midfielder, who netted three goals in nine caps during the calendar year. One of those strikes - the unforgettable overhead kick against Denmark - also earned him a second end-of-year award, securing the Scotland Men’s Goal of the Year, presented by Tennent’s.
Some moments deserve to be framed.

The Napoli midfielder faced strong competition in the Goal of the Year category, finishing ahead of outstanding efforts from teammates Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean in the same match.
Caroline Weir also completed a double, as the Scotland and Real Madrid midfielder was voted EE Scotland Women’s Player of the Year, while her instinctive long-range lob against Morocco claimed the Scotland Women’s Goal of the Year award, presented by SPAR Scotland.

In her first full year back with the National Team following a knee injury in 2023, Weir scored three goals in dark blue across eight appearances and led Scotland as captain on seven occasions, underlining her influence both on and off the pitch.
