Chris McCart


Christopher McCart is a Scottish former footballer who played as a defender.

Playing career

McCart started his career at Motherwell where he was voted player of the year in 1991. McCart spent the next twelve seasons with the Fir Park before a short spell with Falkirk. In 1990–91, McCart was part of Motherwell's Scottish Cup-winning side, while also winning the Scottish Challenge Cup with Falkirk in 1997–98.

Coaching career

After retiring from playing, McCart held a youth coaching role at former club Motherwell before joining Celtic as head of youth development in June 2008 following the death of Tommy Burns.. Liverpool full back Andy Robertson stated in 2020 that McCart emphasised a more physical approach than had previously been the case at Celtic, and that this was instrumental in Robertson's departure from Celtic as a 15 year old.
On 11 September 2008, McCart played for a Motherwell side in Dougie Arnott's belated testimonial match against an Old Firm select.

Personal life

His son Jamie McCart is also a footballer and a defender, who began his career as an academy player at Celtic.
