Gary MacKenzie (born 15 October 1985) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for St Mirren as a defender. He was called up to the Scotland national side in 2011 and 2012, but has not played in a full international match
MacKenzie started his career as a youth player at Rangers. He has made two appearances for the first team (at the end of the 2003–04 season), against Motherwell and Dunfermline, respectively. Since leaving Rangers, MacKenzie was quoted as saying: "I would have loved to have got my chance when I was with Rangers, but it never happened for me. They gave some young boys their chance tonight and maybe part of that is down to what’s happening at the club right now. You don’t want to see any club struggling, especially not one you used to play for. These guys are getting a chance and maybe things would have been different if I stayed."
He joined Dundee on a free transfer in June 2006 under the management of Alex Rae and signed a two-year contract. He made his debut, on the opening game of the season, in a 1–0 loss against Partick Thistle. Later in the season, MacKenzie would be often used in first team ins and out in his first season.
In 2007–08 season, MacKenzie playing time would increase, making 33 appearance. He scored his first goal, in a 3–0 win over Stirling Albion, with a header on 12 April 2008. The 2008–09 season was overshadowed for MacKenzie as he suffered injuries, like toe and many more. In addition, MacKenzie have discipline issue, earning two red cards against Ross County on 28 March 2009 and Livingston on 28 April 2009.; which MacKenzie made 19 appearances.
