Roderick "Roddy" McKenzie (born August 8 1975, Bellshill) is a Scottish professional football player, a goalkeeper currently playing for Scottish First Division side Livingston.

Career

McKenzie started his career with Heart of Midlothian, signing his first contract in 1993. He did not experience any first team football until he went on a year-long loan at Stenhousemuir in the 1995-96 season. The highlight of his spell at Ochilview Park was Stenhousemuir's victory in the Scottish Challenge Cup, when McKenzie saved a penalty in the 5-4 penalty shootout win against Dundee United, following a 0-0 draw.

McKenzie returned to Hearts and played as an understudy to, among others, Gilles Rousset and Antti Niemi. He was never able to establish himself permanently in the first team, and after a mere 52 starts in 10 years at the Tynecastle club, McKenzie moved from Hearts to Livingston in 2003.

McKenzie appeared 119 times during his 3-and-a-half year spell in West Lothian, helping Livingston win their first major honour when they defeated Hibernian 2-0 in the final of the 2004 Scottish League Cup. This triumph came amidst a cash crisis and period in administration for Livingston, which severely weakened the playing side. Despite McKenzie's best efforts, the club was relegated after several years of struggle, following the 2005-06 season.

In July 2006, McKenzie accepted a contract with Dunfermline Athletic, making his debut against former club Hearts later that month. In the January 2008, McKenzie was released from his contract with Dunfermline after sustaining a bad injury to his back.
