Scott MacKenzie (born 7 September 1970) is a Scottish professional football player and coach. During his career he played for Falkirk (twice), St Mirren, Hamilton Academical and Queen of the South. MacKenzie is currently working for Albion Rovers as their assistant manager.

Coaching career

After retiring, MacKenzie was hired as U-17 coach at Dumbarton. In December 2007, it was revealed that MacKenzie had agreed to become assistant coach to his former teammate, Brian Reid, at Ayr United.[1] Together the duo helped Ayr United get promoted to the First Division for the 2010-11 season.

In January 2013 MacKenzie joined Partick Thistle as U-20/reserve team manager. He left this position in October 2018.[2] [3] Ahead of the 2020-21 season, MacKenzie was reunited with Brian Reid as the duo took over at Albion Rovers. In March 2023, they were sacked after almost three years at the club, following a defeat to Bonnyrigg Rose, which dropped Albion to last place in the table.[4]
