Scott McTominay sees 'McFratm' nickname protected as Napoli cash in on instant club legend
The marauding midfielder has already secured iconic status in Naples after just one season with the club Scott McTominay is the talk of the town at Napoli after playing a starring role in the side's second Scudetto in three years. And the Scotland hero's impact on the club seems to know no boundaries, with Napoli reportedly registering a trademark on his new nickname 'McFratm'. The all-action midfielder netted 12 goals in 34 Serie A matches as Antonio Conte's team clinched the title on the final day by downing Cagliari 2-0 in front of their adoring fans at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. McTominay - who was crowned as the league's MVP - has already cemented iconic status with Napoli supporters, who have honoured him with a shrine in the middle of the Decumani district in the city centre. The 28-year-old has also been donned with the nickname 'McFratm', which which combines his name with the Neapolitian slang word for 'brother'. And according to Italian outlet Ambasciator, Napoli have now went one step further by trademarking the nickname for their commercial benefit. They add that the 'McFratm' brand is set to become the face of the side's marketing campaign over the summer ahead of the new season. Napoli are said to have filed the 'McFratm' trademark in as many as nine product categories including sporting goods, stationery and even food produce. Along with teammate Billy Gilmour, McTominay became the first Scotland player to get his hands on a Serie A winners' medal for the first time in 120 years. Way back in 1905, Jack Diment and James Squair achieved the feat by helping Juventus lift their first ever league title, eight years after the club was officially founded. And the Tartan Army favourites weren't the only stars in Steve Clarke's national team to have lifted silverware last season. Former Aberdeen and Hamilton midfielder Lewis Ferguson captained Bologna to the Coppa Italia to end their 51-year wait for a major trophy. Elsewhere, ex Hibs defender Josh Doig - who made his senior bow for Scotland against Liechenstein on Monday - was a part of the Sassuolo side that jumped back up to the top-flight by romping to the Serie B championship. Ferguson is reportedly a target for Conte this summer and could form an all-Scottish midfield in Naples. Left back Doig is said to be the subject of transfer tussle between Turin giants Juve and their city rivals Torino, if reports in Italy are to be believed.

Napoli's savvy Scott McTominay decision revealed with Serie A champions set to benefit from Scotland ace's mega stardom
SCOTT McTOMINAY has taken Naples by storm since making the move last summer. Now, Napoli have made a shrewd move to PROFIT from the mania surrounding the Scotland hero. 3 3 3 McTominay, 28 sealed a £25million switch to the Serie A giants from Manchester United last season. He seemed to immediately get a new lease of life and has never looked back. Establishing himself as a fans' favourite from the off, McTominay finished the season as THE undisputed hero in the eyes of Napoli's famously fanatic band of followers. The fandom only heightened when the Hampden hero netted a stunning overhead kick to send Napoli on their way to a 2-0 win over Cagliari on the final day of the season - a victory that saw them crowned champions of Italy. On the same night, he was also named Serie A's MVP for the 2024/25 season. In the days that followed, McTominay thrilled fans by being front and centre of the wild celebrations that followed. Napoli supporters have shown their love for the Scotland star in many weird, wonderful and extravagant ways. A stunning shrine to the midfield ace appeared in the city centre, pizzas have been named in his honour and one fan even got a TATTOO. The incredible ink didn't, however, bear McTominay's name, instead carrying 'McFratm'. Like McTominay himself, his nickname has taken the Italian football world by storm. Scott McTominay dances with old fan while puffing on cigarette as never-ending Napoli title party continues Coined by a teammate, the player himself revealed it was his favourite of all the nicknames he'd been given, with McTerminator among the others. McFratm basically translates to 'McBro' and many Napoli fans have taken to referring to the midfielder by the term instead of his actual name. It's born from the Neapolitan word 'fratermo' which means 'my brother.' It's appeared on scarves, T-shirts and even on the mural in Naples. But that could all be about to change after Napoli made a big decision. According to Gazzetta, Napoli have TRADEMARKED 'McFratm.' The shrewd move means the club are hoping to benefit commercially from the incredible buzz surrounding McTominay. Napoli filed for the trademark in the middle of last month and covers nine different product categories. It means the club will be able to license and realise an abundance of 'McFratm' merchandise as well as using it for marketing and promotional purposes.
