James McPhie (25 August 1920 – 24 February 2002) was a Scottish footballer who played for and managed Falkirk.[1][2] He played as a full-back for Falkirk either side of the Second World War, with guest appearances for Preston North End and Reading.[3] McPhie played in one wartime international for Scotland in November 1945[4] (the war had ended, but official competitions had yet to resume), and represented the Scottish League once, in 1948.[5] He retired as a player in 1953.
After serving the club as a coach, McPhie managed Falkirk for seven games in early 1957 on a caretaker basis,[6] after Bob Shankly moved to Dundee. He was replaced by Reg Smith.
