Career

At Falkirk, McStay scored the goal that got the club promoted to the SPL in the 2004–2005 season. Despite this, McStay turned down a new deal at Falkirk in the summer of 2007 as he was in search of first-team football elsewhere. McStay signed for Partick Thistle on 1 June 2007, as one of three signings by new manager Ian McCall.

On 31 January 2009, McStay left by mutual consent at the Maryhill club. On that same day, McStay played and signed for Dumbarton to stay at the club for the remainder of the season and played a part in winning the third division title.

In July 2013 McStay then departed for NIFL Premiership club Portadown before the start of September 2013. [2] [3]

On 3 July 2014, McStay signed for Annan Athletic. This was the second time that Jim Chapman, the Black and Golds' manager had McStay as a player, having played at the Sons when Chapman was in charge there. [4] McStay was then announced as one of the joint player-managers at Shettleston in March 2016, alongside his Galabankies team-mate Peter Weatherson, with their tenure to commence at the start of the 2016–17 season in the Scottish Juniors, West Region. [5]
