In February 2021, McKay was announced as joining the Glasgow Warriors in Scotland ahead of the 2021–22 season. McKay said of the move:

I like attacking with the ball in hand, I’m a balanced rugby player and I think I can make an impact on both attack and defence. I really think the style of Glasgow’s play will suit me. I’ve watched Glasgow Warriors games on TV and I’m very excited for my first taste of northern hemisphere footy. I can’t wait to run out at Scotstoun in a Warriors jersey for the first time.

McKay made his competitive debut for the Warriors on 4 December 2021 in a match against the Dragons at Scotstoun Stadium. He became Glasgow Warrior No. 338. The Glasgow side won the match in a bonus point victory.
