McAulay makes 'hardest decision' to leave Rangers

Scotland winger Mia McAulay has made the "hardest decision" of her career to depart Rangers.

The 19-year-old academy graduate has made more than 100 appearances for the club since her debut at age 16 in 2023.

Named SWPL young player of the year for her impressive breakthrough season in 2023-24, McAuley won successive SWPL Cup and Scottish Cup doubles with Rangers but missed out on silverware this term as Leanne Crichton 's side lost both finals and finished second to league champions Hearts.

"This is the hardest decision I have ever had to make, to leave the club I love," said McAulay.

"Having spent my entire career here, coming through the academy, all the way to the first team has been a sense of pride for myself and my family.

"Everyone knows I have grown up supporting the club, and it was a dream to wear the famous blue jersey."

Head coach Crichton is "extremely disappointed" to see McAulay leave.

"I know this wasn't an easy decision for her, as everyone is aware how big a supporter of Rangers she is," Crichton added.
