McPake’s stock in the game has risen after he masterminded Dundee’s successful promotion to the Scottish Premiership last season, via the play-offs. According to a report in The Scottish Sun, he is on a shortlist to replace former Scotland star Russell Martin – who took over at Swansea City earlier this week. The report claims McPake, 37, is aware of interest from MK Dons via his representatives. MK Dons were previously managed by former Dundee United boss Robbie Neilson between 2016 and 2018. Any move to MK Dons would mean McPake would become the third Scot in charge in recent times at Stadium MK. Dundee boss James McPake who led his side to promotion last year is a ‘target’ for MK Dons MK Dons are said to be keen on making a swift appointment as their league season kicks off against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday. McPake underlined his commitment to Dundee by relocating to the city from Glasgow. But the chance to test his managerial skills down south could prove tempting for the former Coventry City star.
