Daniel MacKay (born 19 April 2001) is a Scottish footballer. He plays as a winger for Elgin City, on loan from Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Career
He made his first team debut in a friendly vs Nairn County F.C , scoring from 20 yards past the keeper. MacKay made his professional first team debut and scored his first professional goal against Peterhead on 7 October 2017 in the Scottish Challenge Cup. He scored his first league goal in a 3–1 away loss to Falkirk. He was assisted by fellow league debutant, Jack Brown. MacKay is the youngest player and goalscorer in the club’s history, at just 16 years and 174 days.
He was one of 10 youth players to turn professional with the club in May 2018.
On 9 August 2019, MacKay and goalkeeper Daniel Hoban were loaned by Inverness to League Two club Elgin City. However a little over a week later, MacKay injured his ankle in a 1-0 home loss to Stenhousemuir in the 43rd minute. Mackay’s loan was extended to the end of the season in the January Transfer Window.
International career
In 2017, Mackay played for the Scotland Schoolboys team, along with fellow Inverness Caledonian Thistle team-mate, Kieran Chalmers. He scored in a match against England a day before he featured in the 2018 Scottish Challenge Cup Final, where he provided the assist to the winning goal from Carl Tremarco.
MacKay was called up into the Scotland U19 Squad on the 28th January 2019 ahead of friendlies vs Spain and Azerbaijan. He made his debut against Spain, substituting in the 72nd Minute for Stephen Kelly.
