On 18 July 2011 McStay signed for his local and newly promoted division two side Albion Rovers on a one-year deal. McStay left Rovers after the 2011–2012 season, and has signed for Ayr United on a 1-year deal.[1]
McStay signed for Junior side Irvine Meadow in August 2013 but left for NIFL Premiership side Portadown later the same month.[2][3]
On 3 July 2014 McStay signed for Annan Athletic, it being the second time that Annan manager Jim Chapman had signed him.
