Craig Brodie MacGillivray (born 12 January 1993) is a Scottish [3] [4] professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL League Two club Milton Keynes Dons.
MacGillivray began his career as a reserve team goalkeeper for Harrogate Railway Athletic, [5] eventually earning a move to Stalybridge Celtic in 2011. [5] After making four appearances for Stalybridge in an injury–hit season, [6] MacGillivray joined Harrogate Town in August 2012.
