FOOTIE hero Scott McTominay has a new honour to his name… the most attractive Scottish player.
The Napoli idol topped a new list of 100 Scots which saw Ipswich Town goalkeeper Cieran Slicker rank second ahead and Luton Town defender Kal Naismith in third.

Scotland captain and Liverpool legend Andy Robertson was in fourth.
Researchers for a betting website came up with the rankings by looking at average searches about the players’ love lives and relationship status to their height and the “golden ratio attractiveness” which calculates facial symmetry.
Researchers for topfootballbettingsites.co.uk gave each player a final score out of 100 from an overall list of over 200 stars eligible to play for the national team.
McTominay, who has enjoyed a meteoric rise in fame and fortune since leaving Manchester United for Italy in a £25 million transfer a year ago this month, emerged as number one or “hottest Scot”.
The goalscoring midfielder, who inspired Napoli to Serie A and was judged the most important player in Italy last season, is nicknamed “McFratm” – from the Neapolitan slang “fratm,” meaning “brother” – by his club’s famously passionate fans.
He came top with an overall score of 87.73 – a combination of his impressive golden ratio score of 77.54, striking 193cm (over 6ft 3in) height and staggering 6498 online searches per month relating to his relationship status, which is the most of any Scots footballer.
Making up the top ten hottest Scots footballers are Dinamo Zagreb stopper Scott McKenna, Bologna skipper Lewis Ferguson, Hibs midfielder Josh Campbell, Celtic hero Kieran Tierney, Motherwell starlet Lennon Miller, and FK Haka of Finland’s Jordan Houston.
Hibs winger Chris Cadden was judged the Scottish footballer with the face closest to perfection. The winger scored the highest marks for facial symmetry, based on the golden ratio analysis, with a score of 79.88, helping him to 13th place overall.
Cadden’s accolade may cause tension however as his twin brother Nicky – who also stars for Hibs – only scores 74.75.
It might also solve a family argument as in a YouTube Q&A posted by Hibernian in December, they both claimed to be the better looking twin.
Sturm Graz starlet Max Johnston has the second most attractive face (79.72) according to the research, followed by Falkirk’s Brad Spencer (78.85), Celtic defender Dane Murray (78.68) and Hibernian striker Kieron Bowie (78.61).
Scotland defender Jack Hendry of Saudi club Al-Ettifaq and Darmstadt 98’s Scottish striker Fraser Hornby emerged as the tallest Scottish footballers in the world, measuring 195cm or over 6ft 4in.
A spokesperson for topfootballbettingsites.co.uk said: “All of these top 100 players we list are scientifically attractive men, either because they have very symmetrical faces – something known to spark attraction in our brains – are taller than average or have something about them that has fans Googling ‘Does he have a girlfriend?’
“Out of all the talented players Scotland has produced recently, he generates the highest interest from fans curious about his love life, with nearly 6500 searches every month.”
