Speaking after the deal was confirmed, the Queen's Park head coach said: "In terms of building the squad this January a lot has been said about bringing in experience.

"We have done that with Sean Welsh and are still looking to add a couple of more players who fall into that category, however bringing Mackenzie in ensures that we keep the blend between high potential young players and experience right.

“He is a player that has shown in his displays for Celtic B this season that he is ready to compete for a first team jersey at a high level.

"He will get that opportunity to compete here and if he takes it the next opportunity for him will be to show that he can play at this level every week.”
