Dunfermline sacks manager McPake
Manager James McPake, September 25, 2021

DUNFERMLINE have sacked manager James McPake after two-and-a-half years in charge following a “challenging first half” to the season.

The 40-year-old has been sent off in the wake of back-to-back 2-0 away defeats against Raith Rovers and Morton that have left the Pars second bottom of the Championship.

Under-18 and reserve-team coach John McLaughlan has been placed in temporary charge ahead of Friday’s match at home to bitter rivals Falkirk.
