James McPake (born 24 June 1984) is a professional footballer who plays for Scottish Premiership side Dundee. McPake has previously played for Livingston, Greenock Morton, Coventry City and Hibernian. He has mainly played as a defender, although he started his career as a forward. Although he was born in Scotland, McPake was selected by Northern Ireland in 2012 as one of his grandparents was born in Coleraine.
During his youth career, Bellshill-born McPake played for Holytown Colts, Celtic South BC, Coatbridge Amateurs and Livingston pro youth. He began his professional career when he signed for then Scottish First Division team Livingston in August 2000 as a youth academy player. He did not make his debut for the club until almost four years later in April 2004, when Livingston were playing in the SPL. He agreed a new two-year contract with Livingston in 2005.
In January 2006, Scottish Second Division side Greenock Morton signed McPake on loan, after he had rejected proposed loan moves to Gretna and Partick Thistle. McPake made his debut for Morton against Gretna on 14 January and went on to make 10 appearances for the club, scoring two goals in the process. His two goals were both scored in the same game, against Alloa Athletic.
