Gary Mackay-Steven (born 31 August 1990) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Scottish Premiership club Celtic.
Having not made the first team at English clubs Liverpool and Fulham, he began his professional career with Airdrie United in January 2011, spending half a season there before moving to top-flight team Dundee United. He remained with Dundee United until February 2015, when he was signed by Celtic for £250,000.
Mackay-Steven earned his only cap for the Scotland national football team in 2013.
Born in Thurso, Caithness, Mackay-Steven began his youth career with Ross County before moving to English Premier League side Liverpool in 2007. After spending two years at Anfield in the reserve and youth sides, Mackay-Steven was released after an injury-plagued season. He trained with Fulham before eventually returning to Scotland.
On 11 January 2011, Mackay-Steven joined Scottish Second Division side Airdrie United. He made his debut a week later in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup, starting against Greenock Morton at Cappielow Park and scoring the opening goal of a 2–2 draw from 25 yards out. A week later, in the replay at the Excelsior Stadium, Mackay-Steven scored again, albeit in a 2–5 defeat. He played 19 league matches in the remainder of the season, but did not score.
