The 16-year-old midfielder signed for Killie last Thursday, but the club was forced to take down social media posts announcing her arrival following a wave of cruel comments about her facial acne.
Instead of being fazed, Stout delivered the perfect response on Sunday.
Just days after the abuse, she curled in a superb free-kick from the edge of the box against St Johnstone in the Women's Premier League 2.
Her strike helped Kilmarnock cruise to a 6-2 victory, marking an unforgettable debut.
