Club career
Raised in Cambuslang where she attended Newton Farm Primary and Uddingston Grammar School, McAulay was part of the youth academy at Rangers from a young age. Having been awarded as the Scottish youth player of the year for 2021–22, she signed a first professional contract at the club in July 2023, a few months after making her Scottish Women's Premier League debut against Partick Thistle.During McAulay's first full season in the senior team, she received awards for the SWPL's goal of the month, Rangers Player of the Month three times, the club's Player of the Year and the PFA Scotland Women's Young Player of the Year. Rangers won the 2023–24 Scottish Women's Premier League Cup, with McAulay scoring the opening goal in the win over Partick Thistle, and the 2023–24 Scottish Women's Cup, although they missed out on the SWPL championship on goal difference.
In the 2024–25 season, Rangers were again beaten to the league title on the final matchday but won both domestic cups – McAulay missed the SWPL Cup victory against Hibernian through injury, but started in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park and opened the scoring in a 3–0 win over Glasgow City.
