McCoy (24) told Rangers TV: “I’m really excited! I feel like it has been a long time coming, I’ve been here training with the squad earlier on and I’m really excited to get some games in and be involved with the group.”
“I’ve been playing professionally for a few years now, but I’ve been wanting to get involved with a club that had a vision to improve – and Rangers was the club for that.
“The quality of facilities was a big draw for me to come here. You can just see the pride that everyone has being a part of this club – it really does have that family atmosphere about it.”
Thomson added: “Kayla has got vast experience in the women’s game. She was in training with the squad towards the end of last season and will be a valuable addition to our squad ahead of the 2021/22 season.”
