Liverpool FC Women have completed the signing of Kirsty Maclean from Rangers.
The 20-year-old midfielder becomes the Reds’ first addition of the summer after completing a medical and signing a contract at the AXA Melwood Training Centre.
Maclean told Liverpoolfc.com: “I’m really looking forward to it. I’m really excited to get going in pre-season and to meet all the girls, and hopefully we can start the season well.
“I think the club speaks for itself. It’s obviously a massive club with a lot of history and to be able to represent the badge is a really proud moment for me.”
The Scotland international had spent all of her career up to this point at Rangers, having risen through their youth ranks.
She made her breakthrough in the senior team as a 16-year-old during their title-winning season of 2021-22.
Maclean established herself in the side in the following campaign and earned a nomination for PFA Scotland Women’s Young Player of the Year.
Her first Scotland call-up came in June 2023; she went on to debut in a 3-0 victory over Northern Ireland in a friendly, and has appeared a further nine times to date.
At the end of 2023-24, Maclean was nominated for Women’s Young Player of the Year again, as well as the Players’ Player of the Year award.
She leaves Rangers having lifted a league title, the Scottish Cup twice and the Premier League Cup on two occasions as well.
Her shirt number at Liverpool will be confirmed later in the summer.
