A goalscoring central midfielder,[2] Lappin joined Glasgow City in 2003 from Cumbernauld Cosmos U-16s.[3] As of February 2011, when Lappin signed for Liverpool Ladies, she was Glasgow City's all-time record goalscorer with 170 goals.[4]
Lappin made her debut for FA WSL club Liverpool in a friendly win over Hibernian Ladies.[5]
During the WSL mid–season break, Lappin joined Celtic and scored on her debut for the Hoops in a 3–0 win over Rangers.[6]
An away double-header versus England gave a 16-year-old Lappin her first taste of national youth team football.[1] She progressed to captain Scotland's U-19 team to qualification for the UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, but missed the final tournament due to university commitments.[2]
Lappin made her senior Scotland debut as a 90th minute substitute for Joanne Love[7] in a 3-2 friendly win over Belgium at McDiarmid Park in August 2007.[1] Her next appearance was not until February 2011, in a 4-2 win in Wales.[1] In April 2011 Lappin scored her first goal at international level, during a 6-2 defeat to Holland in Volendam.[1]
Lappin has followed in the footsteps of James McGrory and Stevie Chalmers, other footballers from The Garngad.[8]
