Dundee have sacked manager James McPake as the club fight relegation from the Scottish Premiership.
The 37-year-old has been dismissed by the Dens Park side despite a recent upturn in results that saw them pull off a shock win at Hearts last week before progressing to the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup on Monday night against Peterhead.
Ultimately, though, the Dark Blues still face the risk of relegation in their first season back in the top flight after McPake guided them to the Premiership through last season's play-offs.
