Steven William "Steve" Paterson (born 8 April 1958 in Elgin, Moray) is a football manager and former Scottish footballer.

Career

During his professional playing career, Paterson was a central defender and joined Manchester United from Nairn County in July 1974. He made a total of six league appearances for the Red Devils over four seasons. He also had spells playing for clubs in Hong Kong and Japan (Hong Kong Rangers & Yomiuri, before his playing career was cut short by persistent injury problems.

His management career began in the Highland League with Elgin City, before he moved on to Huntly. In the summer of 1995 he joined Inverness Caledonian Thistle, who were playing in the Scottish Third Division at that time. Paterson spent seven and a half years at Caley Thistle, their longest-serving manager to date. During this time, he took the club from the Third Division to the First Division and presided over the team's famous victories against Celtic (resulting in the well-known newspaper headline "Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic Are Atrocious") and Hearts in the Scottish Cup.

In November 2002, Paterson was strongly linked with the vacant manager's job at Dundee United, but he stayed at Caley Thistle for another month until he was offered the manager's position at Aberdeen. This move was not without controversy, as Paterson and his assistant Duncan Shearer were each supposed to have agreed a five-year contract with Caley Thistle not long before their departure to the Dons.

Paterson and Shearer left Aberdeen after around eighteen months. His next managerial post was with Highland League side Forres Mechanics, which he left in the summer of 2006. In October 2006, he was announced as the new manager of Peterhead, a position from which he was eventually dismissed on 10 January 2008.
