The midfielder, who can also play in defence, has 14 Scotland caps to his name and Mackay is delighted to have his compatriot on board at the Championship outfit.. "I have kept an eye on Scottish football and Scott's progress," Mackay told the club's official website. "He's had five terrific years at Aberdeen and is very well respected. "Scott was Aberdeen's captain and that speaks volumes for his character and leadership qualities.
