Career

A full back (successfully converted from left half by manager Willie Maley), he joined Celtic in 1920 and took over the club captaincy from his elder brother Willie McStay in 1929. The siblings played together 246 times for Celtic[3] as well in as one Scottish League XI match in 1926[4] and a Scottish Football Association summer tour of North America in 1927;[5][6] however unlike Willie, Jimmy never gained a full international cap. Taking all cups into account he played in exactly 500 matches for Celtic,[7] ranking 14th on the club's all-time list and making the most appearances overall for the Hoops without being selected for his country (Charlie Shaw holds the unwanted record in terms of Scottish Football League matches).

McStay managed Celtic between 9 February 1940 and 23 July 1945 but this coincided with the suspension of the League and Scottish Cup during wartime, meaning he never had the opportunity to manage the club in official competitions.[8] He also managed Irish club Brideville and Alloa Athletic prior to his appointment at Celtic,[9] and afterwards took charge of Hamilton Academical[10] (where he had also finished his playing career, appearing for Accies in the 1935 Scottish Cup Final aged 40).[11]

In addition to Willie and Jimmy, another McStay brother, Francis, was also a footballer, played for Motherwell in the 1910s.[12] Their great-great-nephews Paul and Willie and Raymond played professionally in the 1980s and 1990s (Paul also captaining Celtic and gaining 76 caps for Scotland).
