List of Scottish Cup winning managers

This is a list of Scottish Cup winning football managers. The Scottish Cup was first competed for in the 1873–74 season. Football in Scotland did not become a professional sport until the 1890s. This meant that clubs in this early period were generally organised by a management committee, or a board of directors if the club had been incorporated. The position of team manager was not introduced in Scottish football until the 1890s, or even later in some instances.

Willie Maley, with Celtic in 1899, was the first team manager to win the competition. This list gives details of the winning club and their manager in each season since then. Maley is also the most successful manager in the history of the competition, winning 14 Scottish Cups during his long tenure.

Winning managers

Jock Stein is one of only two managers to have won the Scottish Cup with more than one club. Stein won it eight times with Celtic between 1965 and 1977. His first Scottish Cup victory was with Dunfermline Athletic in 1961.

Billy McNeill won the Scottish Cup three times as a manager, in two spells with Celtic.

Alex Ferguson is the only manager to have won the Scottish Cup more than twice, without having managed either half of the Old Firm. His Aberdeen side won four Scottish Cups between 1982 and 1986.

Dick Advocaat won the Scottish Cup twice, with Rangers in 1999 and 2000.

Gordon Strachan managed the Celtic side that won the Scottish Cup in 2007.

Peter Houston lifts the Scottish Cup in 2010, celebrating the victory of his Dundee United team.

Neil Lennon has won the Scottish Cup twice as a manager, with Celtic in 2011 and 2013.

Notes

↑ In the early years of organised football, many clubs did not appoint a manager. A management committee or board of directors (if the club had been incorporated) would pick the team instead.
