Career

Club

Mackie joined Raith Rovers in 2015 from the Fife Elite Academy, signing a two-year contract.[1] He made one first team appearance for Raith before moving to Hibernian in February 2016.[1] Hibs paid a fee of £25,000 for the player.[2]

Mackie was loaned to Berwick Rangers for the first part of the 2016–17 season.[3] He made his first team debut for Hibs in April 2017, in a 3–2 win against Raith Rovers.[4] On 6 July 2017, Mackie joined Scottish League Two club Edinburgh City on a six-month development loan deal.[5]

In July 2019, Mackie signed an extended contract with Hibs.[6] In September 2019, Mackie joined Dundee on loan.[7] [8] This arrangement was curtailed in January 2020 due to Mackie suffering an injury.[9]

Mackie continued to suffer from injury problems over the next two seasons, limiting his appearances for Hibs. With his contract due to expire at the end of the 2021–22 season, he was loaned to former club Raith Rovers in February 2022.[10] While with Raith, Mackie would win the Scottish Challenge Cup.[11] He was released by Hibs in June 2022, at the end of his contract.[12]

On 9 June 2022, Mackie was signed by Scottish League One side Falkirk on a two-year deal.[13] [14] In March 2024, Mackie won the League One title with the Bairns on the same night they destroyed Montrose at Links Park.[15] After completing an unbeaten league season with Falkirk, Mackie signed an extension with the Bairns to keep him there for the following season.[16]

On 20 July 2024, Mackie scored his first goal for Falkirk in a Scottish League Cup group stage win over Buckie Thistle.[17] Two weeks later, he netted his first league goal in Falkirk's first game back in the Scottish Championship, scoring the winning goal against Queen's Park.[18]

International

Mackie made one appearance for the Scotland under-21 team, in March 2019.[19] [20]
