Dundee’s James McPake has received a big boost after being given the all-clear to take another important step in his rehabilitation.
The 33-year-old centre-half has been out since the 2016 New Year derby with Dundee United when he fractured his kneecap.
The former Hibs defender has undergone surgery and battled courageously ever since to regain full fitness with the club standing by him throughout.
Good day in London yesterday seeing this absolute genius. A real gentleman and a miracle worker for what he’s done to my knee! Got the all clear to get out on the pitch and start the real work now. Boots on tomorrow for the first time in a while! pic.twitter.com/iZqzuPRMmr
Now, after months spent working hard in the gym, there is finally light at the end of the tunnel for the popular McPake who has revealed that after a visit to see his specialist in London, he will soon be back on the training field.
He said: “Got the all-clear to get out on the pitch and start the real work now. Boots on tomorrow for the first time in a while!”
