McTominay and Billy Gilmour both started the top of the table clash against Inter.

The former Manchester United star poked home from close-range after 23 minutes.

Inter levelled before the break through Hakan Calhanoglu – but the Turkish star then missed his first-ever penalty for the hosts after the break.

Calhanoglu had netted 19 straight spot-kicks, including a midweek Champions League winner against Arsenal.

Napoli are now one point clear of Atalanta, Fiorentina, Inter and Lazio in a thrilling title fight in Italy.

Juventus are a further point adrift with just two points separating the top SIX sides.

Juve won the Turin derby 2-0 on Saturday against Torino, who were without the injured Che Adams.

McTominay has fast become a fans’ favourite abroad and his latest strike only added to the praises being sung about the 27-year-old.

Taking to X, one punter wrote: “Scott McTominay winning Serie A in his first season in Italy is gonna be amazing.”

A second added: “He’s killing it over in Italy. So happy for him.”

Another was even more complimentary, comparing him to France World Cup winner and Serie A legend Zinedine Zidane.

They said: “McTominay moves like Zidane in the Serie A man.”

Meanwhile, ex-Celtic star Liam Henderson started Empoli’s 1-1 draw at Lecce, while Lewis Ferguson was on the bench as Bologna won 3-2 at Roma.
