Rachel McLauchlan (.mw-parser-output .IPA-label-small{font-size:85%}.mw-parser-output .references .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .infobox .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .navbox .IPA-label-small{font-size:100%}Scots: [məˈklɔːxlɪn]; born 7 July 1997) is a Scottish footballer, who plays as a winger and defender for Brighton & Hove Albion and for the Scotland women's national football team. She previously played for Inverness CTS, Aberdeen, Hibernian, Yeovil Town in England's Women's Super League (FA WSL), Glasgow City and Rangers.
McLauchlan started her senior career at Inverness City, then transferred to Aberdeen in August 2014. In January 2016 she joined Scottish Women's Premier League title challengers Hibernian. She won six trophies (three Scottish Women's Cups and three SWPL Cups) in her three seasons in Edinburgh.
McLauchlan moved to English club Yeovil Town in January 2019. She returned to Scottish football in July 2019, signing for Glasgow City. By the end of that season she had a SWPL championship medal and a fourth Scottish Cup medal in her collection. During the 2020–21 SWPL season, McLauchlan scored a goal during the team's 2–0 season opener against Celtic.
In January 2021, McLauchlan joined Rangers on a pre-contract agreement arranged in summer 2020, with Glasgow City teammates Kirsty Howat and Sam Kerr doing likewise, while Nicola Docherty had made the same move across the city some months earlier. In her first full season with the Gers, 2021–22, McLauchlan was part of the squad that won the SWPL for the first time in club history; in the second season they won their first SWPL Cup, and in the third season they won their first Scottish Cup, also narrowly missing out on the league title in both years. in the 2024 Scottish Women's Cup final, McLauchlan opened the scoring against Hearts with "an unbelievable strike" from 30 yards and was named as the Player of the Match, eight years after receiving the same award as a Hibs player in the 2016 final.
On 11 July 2024, McLauchlan signed for Brighton & Hove Albion.
McLauchlan made her debut for the Scotland national team in a 7–0 friendly thrashing by the Netherlands, in Livingston, in October 2016. She entered play as an 86th-minute substitute for Hibs teammate Kirsty Smith. In June 2017, Scotland coach Anna Signeul named McLauchlan in her squad for Euro 2017.
