Josh McPake completes Dundee move as Rangers winger signs six-month loan deal

Dundee have confirmed the signing of Rangers winger Josh McPake on a six-month loan deal.

The Dens Park club have won the race for the highly-rated 17-year-old who had also been interesting Premiership duo Ross County and St Johnstone.

Record Sport revealed at the weekend that McPake had held positive talks with Dundee boss James McPake ahead of Sunday's Betfred Cup clash against Aberdeen.

Now Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has rubber-stamped the move and McPake will join up with the Championship side ahead of this weekend's league clash with Inverness.

McPake is highly-rated at Ibrox and recently penned a new deal until 2023 after making his debut in the Europa League win over St Josephs.

He was named as Rangers’ ‘Academy Player of the Year’ last season.

But the forward's international future is up in the air with Ireland hoping to nip in ahead of Scotland to secure his services.

McPake qualifies to represent them through his grandmother and is now set to hold talks with FAI representatives over the coming weeks.
