Career

[edit]

McKechnie debuted for Queen of the South in the Scottish Championship on the 7 November 2020 versus Arbroath in a 1-1 draw.[3] A knee injury caused him to have surgery in March 2021, which kept him out of action until April 2022.[4] McKechnie scored his first league goal for the club on 4 March 2023 against Airdrieonians in a 3-2 victory.[5]
