Pauline MacDonald

Pauline played both as a defender and midfielder, and racked up 65 caps for Scotland during her varied playing career. She started playing with Central Fife before spells with Cumbernauld United, Cove Rangers and Stenhousemuir. In 1998 Pauline took the bold decision to move to America when she joined Miami Gliders in the USL W-League. She was an instant hit and was named in the league All-Star team that season.

Another season in America followed with the Atlanta Classics, before Pauline moved to Arsenal. While there she won two Premier League medals, the FA Cup and two Premier League Cups. Pauline left Arsenal in 2003 and retired from playing football.

The following year, Pauline was appointed as a women's football development officer for Edinburgh – a role jointly funded by the SCOTTISH FA and the local authority.

In 2006 she came out of retirement for one season with Edinburgh City before a brief foray into management. In 2007 she took over at Dalkeith Ladies. Pauline guided them to promotion in her first season.

After 10 years in various coaching and development roles within the SCOTTISH FA, Pauline was appointed as head coach of the Scotland Women's Under-17 squad in October 2017.
