Biog

Bellshill-born Malcolm George MacKay was a product of the Queen's Park youth set-up who signed for Celtic in August1993. He made his senior debut at the end of the 1994/95 season against Dundee United at Tannadice on 13th May, 1995 in a 1-0 win to Celtic which confirmed the Arabs relegation from the Premier Division.

The centre-half would stay four seasons at Parkhead but failed to establish himself as a first-team regular. Strong and good in the air he was let down by a lack of pace but he did manage to score the opener with a thumping header as Celtic knocked Rangers out of the Scottish Cup 2-0 in March 1997.

Big things were hope for this guy, but he was at Celtic through the barren years which were difficult for any player and the management never utilised him as well as they could have.

He joined Norwich in September 1998 and went on to have a steady career in England where he became a respected performer at Championship level, through which he earned an international call up for Scotland.

Later he became a manager at Watford. We hope him the best.
