Sandy MacIver

Manchester City On 2 July 2022, Manchester City announced the signing of MacIver on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee. She made only three league appearances in her first season, with Ellie Roebuck the regular starter, and none in her second campaign as Khiara Keating became the preferred first choice; MacIver then suffered a serious knee injury in April 2024 while on international duty.

Washington Spirit On 20 January 2025, Washington Spirit announced the signing of MacIver on a three-year contract with an option for 2028. MacIver made her debut for the Spirit in a 4–3 loss to Angel City on 2 May 2025, with Spirit assistant coach Adrián González praising her performances in training.

Aubrey Kingsbury's maternity leave created an opening for the starting job in the 2026 season. MacIver was the opening day starter for the Spirit in a 1–0 loss to the Portland Thorns on 13 March 2026. She subsequently set a Spirit record with four consecutive regular-season clean sheets, going 366 minutes without conceding a goal.

International career England youth MacIver represented England at under-17, under-19, under-20 and under-21 level. She started every game for England at the 2015 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship; however, England were knocked out at the group stage. She also started every game at the 2017 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship where England finished in fifth place. MacIver was part of the England squad that won bronze medal in the 2018 U20 World Cup in France, and was awarded the Golden Glove as the tournament's best goalkeeper.

England senior

In February 2019, MacIver was named as part of the England senior team's travelling party during the 2019 SheBelieves Cup and trained with the team during the tournament but was not part of the playing squad. In August 2019, MacIver received her first senior England call up for friendlies against Belgium and Norway but did not make an appearance. She was left out the next two camps but returned as part of the 2020 SheBelieves Cup squad in February 2020 following a return to England with FA WSL club Everton. She made her senior international debut on 23 February 2021 as a 61st minute substitute in a 6–0 friendly win over Northern Ireland. MacIver was given number 218 when the FA announced their legacy numbers scheme to honour the 50th anniversary of England’s inaugural international.

In May 2023, MacIver said that she had made herself unavailable for selection by England. Despite Bardsley being forced to withdraw a month prior to the tournament, MacIver remained a reserve player and Hege Riise called-up the previously unnamed Carly Telford as a replacement instead. On 1 July 2021, the IOC and FIFA confirmed squads would be expanded from 18 to 22 meaning MacIver would be available for selection to the matchday squad. She was included as an unused substitute for one match, a 1–1 group stage draw with Canada.

Scotland MacIver remained eligible to play for Scotland, where her father was born, as she had only played in one friendly match for England (her mother was born in France). It was reported by The Scotsman in October 2023 that she had changed her international allegiance to Scotland, and later that month she was named in the squad for the first time. She made her Scotland debut on 31 October in a 1–0 UEFA Nations League defeat to the Netherlands.

On 5 April 2024, MacIver suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during a UEFA Euro 2025 qualification match against Serbia.
