International Career
McTominay was born in England, but his father is from Helensburgh, so he can play for Scotland. McTominay trained with the Scottish youth teams at camps. In November 2017, McTominay told Malky Mackay, who was in charge of performance for the Scottish Football Association, that he wanted to focus on making the first team for Manchester United.
In February 2018, the manager of the club, José Mourinho, said that the new manager of Scotland, Alex McLeish, should choose McTominay “because it looks like England is missing him.” McTominay promised to stay with Scotland, and the team picked him to play in two friendly games in March. Later that month, McTominay’s grandfather said that Sir Alex Ferguson wanted him to play for Scotland. Brian McClair, the coach of the Manchester United youth team, explained “McLeish put in a lot of work to get to Carrington to meet him because it was in the middle of the bad weather we were having. He did it, make a case for it. He got a text from Gareth Southgate.” McTominay said this about the talk he had with McLeish: “He came all the way from the other side of the country to talk to me, and I have to thank him for that. The talk we had was not too complicated. I’ve always wanted to play for Scotland, even when I was a kid. When he called me up, it was a very proud moment for me, and I hope I can keep going and do well.”
In McLeish’s first game in charge, which was on March 23, four players, including McTominay, made their international debuts. He played the first 57 minutes of a 1–0 loss to Costa Rica in a friendly before Stuart Armstrong took his place. He played for Scotland for the first time in a game in September 2018. He replaced Callum McGregor in the 79th minute of a 2-0 win over Albania. He was picked again for international duty in November 2019, but he had to back out because of an injury.
McTominay played center back in a three-man defense for the international games in September 2020. The Times said that McTominay had the right body for the job, but that he had trouble fitting into the role. He kept playing this role during the internationals in October 2020, and the Daily Record said there were signs that his play had gotten better. He scored both of his penalties in the shootouts against Israel and in the final playoff against Serbia, helping Scotland get into a tournament for the first time in 23 years.
Steve Clarke put McTominay in the Scotland team for the Euro 2020 finals. He played in all three of Scotland’s Group D games against the Czech Republic, England, and Croatia, but the team didn’t make it to the next round.
