Emily Thomson (born 12 August 1993) is a Scottish football winger, who plays for Glasgow City in the Scottish Women's Premier League. She has represented the Scotland women's national football team at youth and senior level.

Club career

In 2009 Thomson left Motherwell Girls and signed a two-year contract to join the academy of English champions Arsenal Ladies.[1] She returned to Scotland to join Celtic in 2011.[2]

Thomson joined SWPL champions Glasgow City in June 2013.[3] In August 2013 Celtic faced being thrown out of the national Cup for the second successive season, following a complaint from beaten second round opponents Forfar Farmington. Celtic won the match 5–2 but had named former player Thomson as a substitute in an apparent bid to cup-tie her for the season at her new club, rivals Glasgow City.[4]

International career

While a 14–year–old pupil at Dalziel High School, Thomson scored winning goals for Scotland at Under–17 level against Republic of Ireland and Norway at a tournament in France.[5] The vice–captain of the national Under 19 team,[6] Thomson made her first senior appearance for Scotland in May 2012; a 3–1 friendly win over Poland in Gdańsk.[7]

Thomson attended the Scottish Football Association National Performance Centre at the University of Stirling.[8]
