Willie McStay (born 26 November 1961 Hamilton, Scotland) is a former professional footballer and the current reserve team coach of Celtic F.C..[1]

McStay also played for Celtic from 1979 to 1987. McStay made his debut on 2 April 1983 when he came on as a sub in Celtic's 3-1 home win over Motherwell and went on to make 65 league appearances, including 10 as a substitute, scoring two goals. McStay transferred to Huddersfield Town in March 1987 and later played for Notts County and Hartlepool United.[2]

McStay managed Sligo Rovers from 1992 to 1994 and lead them to an historic treble, when they won the 1993-94 First Division, First Division Shield and the FAI Cup. In 1994, the Scot left Rovers just before the start of the new season after being approached by Celtic F.C. to become their youth team coach.[3]

McStay is the brother of former Celtic and Scotland legend Paul McStay.
