Scotland's Scott McTominay is a nominee for this year's Men's Ballon d'Or award following his stellar season with Napoli, where he helped the team clinch the Serie A title in their final game of the season. McTominay, crowned Serie A's Most Valuable Player, is the first Scotsman in 38 years to make the shortlist. Ally McCoist was nominated in 1987.
