They are in talks with midfielder Brad Spencer in a bid to retain the services of the midfielder.
The moves follow the captures of Scott McGill and Dylan Corr with further announcements over new signings imminent.
MacDonald’s departure is the biggest surprise in the Rovers list.
He celebrated his 500th career game earlier this year and paid tribute to legendary late ex-Dundee United goalkeeper Billy Thomson for the influence on his career.
MacDonald spent 11 years at Hearts before starring for Queen of the South, Falkirk and Kilmarnock.
He helped them lift the SPFL Trust Trophy in 2022.
