Club career

After attending coaching sessions with the charity diversionary initiative 'Moving The Goalposts' as a child,[2] Hay began playing at youth level for Glasgow City at the age of 11.[3] She made her first team debut against Rangers on 28 June 2015, when she was 15.[4] In March 2016, she scored her first senior team goal in the Scottish Women's League Cup against Inverness City.[5]

In October 2017, Hay left Glasgow City[6] and moved to fellow SWPL club Rangers, reuniting with former City youth coach Amy McDonald, who had since become manager of the Gers side.[7] Having recovered from a serious ankle injury to be voted the league's Player of the Month for August/September 2019,[8] she agreed an 18-month professional contract extension with Rangers in December 2019.[9][10]

International career

Hay has represented Scotland at the under-15[11] and under-17 levels.[12] In September 2015 she scored two goals, within three minutes, against the Republic of Ireland at Ainslie Park; Scotland won the game 3–0.[13][14]

In 2017 she was part of the Scotland under-19 squad which qualified for the 2017 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship,[15] and made one appearance at the finals tournament as a late substitute in a 1–0 loss to Spain.[16]

Personal life

Hay was raised in the Fernhill neighbourhood of Rutherglen,[2][12] and attended Trinity High School in the town.[11][12]

Her older sister Kodie is also a footballer and a forward who began her career at Glasgow City;[12][17] both siblings left the club at the same time for more playing opportunities,[6] with Kodie moving to Hamilton[18] and later to Celtic.[19][20] During the 2019 season, they played against one another in the Old Firm derby.[19][21]

Their uncle is former professional footballer Stephen McKeown.[11]
