Robert McInnes McKay (2 September 1900 – 24 May 1977) was a Scottish football player and manager. He played for Morton, Rangers, Newcastle United, Sunderland, Charlton Athletic, Bristol Rovers and Newport County, and represented Scotland once. After retiring as a player, McKay managed Dundee United and Ballymena United.

## Career

McKay was a member of Morton's 1922 Scottish Cup-winning team in his first season as a professional before playing for Rangers. In November 1926, he signed for Newcastle United in a £2,750 deal, where he won the League championship that season, scoring a hat-trick on his debut. Two years later he transferred to Sunderland, moving between the Tyne–Wear derby clubs in an exchange deal with defender Bob Thomson. McKay won one Scotland cap in 1927 during his time with Newcastle.

McKay took his first steps into management with Dundee United in July 1939 but managed only four League matches before the outbreak of war caused the suspension of the competition in September 1939. When it was decided to abandon the League programme, McKay's contract was terminated and he left the club, just three months after arriving.
