Club career

Docherty started with Rangers in 2010 and played in the first women's soccer game at Ibrox Stadium in May. In 2012 she moved to local rivals Glasgow City FC , the dominant team in Scottish women's football. So far, she has won 15 national trophies with the team and played 32 games in the UEFA Women's Champions League . The best result was reaching the quarter-finals 2014/15 .

National team

Docherty took part with the U-17 team in October 2008 in the first qualifying round for the 2009 European Women's U-17 Championship . At the tournament in Belarus she was used in the last game against Switzerland. The Scottish and Swiss women had won the first two games and were playing for group victory. The Scottish women lost 2-0 and thus missed the second qualifying round. In April 2009 it was used in two friendly matches against the German U-16 team and Italy, which were also lost.

In September 2009 she took part with the U-19s in the first qualifying round for the 2010 U-19 European Women's Football Championship . She had two appearances at the tournament in Bulgaria . The Scottish women qualified as second in the group for the second qualifying round. This took place without them at the end of March / beginning of April 2010 in the Netherlands and the Scottish women were able to qualify there as the best runners-up in the group for the finals in Macedonia . There she was used in two games, in which they lost 3-1 to England and 3-3 to Italy. In the 1: 5 defeat against Germany in the second game, through which they no longer had a chance to reach the semi-finals, she was not there. In September 2010 they made a new attempt. In the first game of the first qualifying round for the 2011 U-19 European Women's Football Championship in a 3-3 draw against Serbia, she and her teammate Lauren McMurchie received a yellow-red card . You were therefore suspended for the second game against Slovakia. In the 1-0 win against Sweden in the last group game, she was there again. By winning, they qualified for the second round. This took place in Austria at the end of March / beginning of April . In preparation they played against Denmark and Norway in early March 2011. She scored her first international goal in a 2-2 draw against Norway. At the tournament in Austria she was in the two draws against the hosts (3: 3, with a goal from Docherty) and Poland (2: 2) on the field. In the defeat against Spain, which eliminated them, it was not used. Her time as a junior national player ended with the tournament.

On September 21, 2011, she came in the friendly against Finland for her first appearance in the senior national team . The Scottish women had lost 1-0 in Helsinki three days earlier . In Edinburgh , however, they won 7-2. Docherty came on after an hour. She had her next appearance in May 2012 in a 3-1 win in the friendly against Poland , where she came on four minutes before the end of the game. Two months later she was allowed to play in the last 15 minutes of the first game against Cameroon . She then had to wait 17 months for the next game, at the four-nation tournament in Brazil she was substituted on for the hosts nine minutes before the end of the game.

At the Cyprus Cup 2014 she was in the starting line-up for the first time in the second group match against the Netherlands , but was substituted after 54 minutes at home with a score of 3: 2 (final score 4: 3). After a brief stint in the 4-2 win against Australia , she was allowed to play 90 minutes for the first time in the game for third place against South Korea . Since it was 1: 1 after 90 minutes, there was a penalty shoot-out , which was lost 3-1.

Shortly after the Cyprus Cup, she made her first competitive appearances in qualifying for the 2015 World Cup . Her playing times remained limited, however, in 2016 and 2018 she did not play any international matches. For the football championship of women in 2017 , she was not nominated and in the qualification for the World Cup in 2019 , they did not even used. At the beginning of 2019, she played a role again in the preparation for the World Cup, for which the Scottish women had qualified for the first time. She was used in six of the first seven games of the year and was mostly in the starting line-up. On May 15, she was nominated for the first Scottish women's World Cup squad.
