James McPake charged over Dundee vs Aberdeen rammy as boss faces SFA hearing

Dundee boss James McPake has been charged with misconduct after being sent off during his side's win over Aberdeen.

The manager was shown a red card during the closing stages of Saturday's Premiership clash and now faces an SFA hearing.

McPake's team led 2-1 when he threw the ball away as Aberdeen's Jack MacKenzie tried to retrieve it and he was then confronted by Dons captain Scott Brown.

Aberdeen coach Gordon Marshall was also dismissed during the ensuing coming together involving several players and staff.

A Dundee statement on Tuesday confirmed the impending disciplinary meeting, which has been set for Thursday, November 4.

It read: "The club today received a notice of complaint following James McPake’s red card during Saturday’s win over Aberdeen. The principal hearing for the case will take place on November 4th."

After the full-time whistle at Dens Park, McPake insisted he didn't know if his dismissal was justified.

“I’ll let everyone else decide when they see it," he said.

“It was a heated game which these games are.

“Unfortunately I got another red card but I don’t know if I deserved it or not.”
