Career
A youth product of Rangers who was their Academy Player of the Year for 2018–19[2] having won the SPFL Reserve League, the Under-18 League and the Scottish Youth Cup in that season[3] plus the Glasgow Cup in the prior campaign,[2] McPake signed a new contract on 10 July 2019, which will keep him at the club until the summer of 2022.[3] A week later he made his professional debut for Rangers in a UEFA Europa League qualifying match against Gibraltese St Joseph's at Ibrox, coming on as a 67th minute substitute for Greg Docherty.[4]
On 20 August 2019, McPake joined Scottish Championship side Dundee on a loan until the following January.[5][6] After an ankle injury hindered his progress with the Dark Blues, McPake spent the last few weeks of his loan spell back at Rangers, and officially returned in January.[7]
In September 2020, McPake joined Greenock Morton on loan until January with an option to extend.[8]
On 8 January 2021, McPake joined League Two side Harrogate Town on loan for the remainder of the 2020-21 season.[9]
