William John "Willie" McStay (born 26 November 1961) is a Scottish former footballer and former manager of Celtic Nation.
Born in Hamilton, McStay 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.
McStay was player/manager at Sligo Rovers from 1992 to 1994 and he led them to a historic treble in 1993-94, when they won the First Division, First Division Shield and the FAI Cup. In 1994, the Scot left Sligo just before the start of the new season after being approached by Celtic to become their youth team coach.
McStay was appointed the head coach of Celtic Reserves in January 2007, and worked in that role at the club until July 2009, when he left to take up the role as manager of Újpest FC in Budapest, Hungary. His assistant at Celtic and at Újpest was Joe McBride. McStay resigned as Head Coach of Újpest in April 2010, and was replaced by Géza Mészöly.
