About Mark McKenzie

Born 1971. Mark McKenzie is a rugby union player.

Mark McKenzie (born 2 December 1971) is a former Scotland 'A' international Scottish rugby union player. He played for Caledonia Reds and Glasgow Warriors in Scotland, and for CS Bourgoin-Jallieu and Nice in France.

McKenzie's career spanned the amateur and professional era. In 1989, he was playing for Glasgow District Under 18s. He won the Division One league title in 94/95 with Stirling County.

On Scotland's rugby professionalism in 1996, McKenzie then played for Caledonia Reds and won the Scottish Inter-District Championship with them in the 1996-97 season; their first ever title.

He signed for Glasgow Warriors for the start of the 2000 - 01 season. He made 3 appearances, scoring 129 points from three tries, 24 conversions, 20 penalties and two drop-goals.

In late 2000 he asked to leave Glasgow so that he could return to France to be with his girlfriend. The Glasgow coach Richie Dixon stated: "Reluctantly, we agreed to let Mark go with effect from the New Year. Obviously we are very sorry to see such a talented player departing but we wish him well in the future." The Chief Executive David Jordan said: "There has been no acrimony over the parting of ways. Mark leaves us on good terms and we genuinely hope his career blossoms again. He is a very potent midfielder and I can see no reason why he should not be continuing to push for Scotland honours in the near future."

McKenzie came through the ages for Scotland. He played at Scotland U18,
