Elizabeth Jane Arnot (born 1 March 1996) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Rangers in the SWPL and the Scotland national team. She has previously played for Hibernian and Manchester United.

Club career[]

Hibernian[]

Arnot started her career at Edinburgh City and later Hutchison Vale before she joined Hibernian in January 2012.[3]

In 2017, Arnot suffered a cruciate ligament injury, ruling her out for 14 months; on her return, she scored five goals for Hibernian in a 9–0 win against Celtic in the 2018 SWPL Cup final, retaining the title for the third straight year.[4]

Manchester United[]

On 27 June 2018, it was announced that Arnot and teammate Kirsty Smith were leaving Hibernian.[5] Both players joined the newly formed Manchester United for the 2018–19 season.[6] Arnot became the women's team's first goalscorer, scoring the only goal in the side's first competitive match, a 1–0 win against Liverpool in the FA Women's League Cup on 19 August.[7] A month later, she scored her first league goal of the campaign in a 3–0 home win against Sheffield United.[8] On 18 November 2018, Arnot scored her first United brace in a 0–5 win away to Crystal Palace.[9]

Arnot scored her first goal of the 2019–20 season in an 11–1 League Cup home win against Leicester City on 21 November 2019.[10] She left following the expiration of her contract at the end of her second season.[11]

Rangers[]

On 31 July 2020, Arnot returned to Scotland to sign with Rangers.[12] She scored 16 goals in 21 appearances as she won the 2020–21 golden boot.[13]

International career[]

Arnot training with Scotland in 2015.

Arnot represented Scotland at Scotland under-17 and Scotland under-19 level. She made her full international debut for Scotland against Norway on 17 September 2015, when she came on as a substitute for Joanne Love.[14] After a year out due to a cruciate ligament injury, which caused her to miss Euro 2017,[15] Arnot was recalled to the Scotland squad in May 2018 for their World Cup qualifiers against Belarus and Poland.[16] Arnot scored her first international goals during the 2019 Algarve Cup, scoring twice in a 4–1 win against Iceland.[17][18]

In May 2019, Arnot was named in the Scotland squad for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, the nation's first ever appearance at the tournament.[19]
