David Hay (born January 29, 1948) is a Scottish footballer and football manager.
Davie Hay is regarded as one of the greatest Celtic players[citation needed] and came back to Parkhead as a manager in 1983. He signed for Celtic in 1966 and was one of the 'Quality Street Kids', the great Celtic reserve team that also included the likes of Kenny Dalglish, Lou Macari, Danny McGrain and George Connelly, who eventually took the places of the aging Lisbon Lions.
He made his league debut on March 6, 1968 against Aberdeen. Hay made 130 appearances in the league for Celtic scoring 6 goals. After playing for Scotland in the 1974 World Cup in West Germany, he was transferred to Chelsea following a dispute with Celtic. In 1979 a serious knee injury forced him to retire from the game as a player. He had also suffered problems with his vision and eventually lost the use of his right eye. [1] He won 27 caps for Scotland.
He succeeded Billy McNeill as Celtic manager in 1983 and won the Scottish Cup in 1985 and the league in dramatic fashion in 1986. Celtic won their game 5-0 against St. Mirren at Love Street and needed Hearts to lose at Dens Park. Albert Kidd won the league for Celtic with two goals. Hay made way for Billy McNeill to return to the Celtic managership in 1987.
