Peter Cormack (born 8 June 1974) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender. His father is former Liverpool player Peter Cormack senior.

Life and playing career

Cormack was born in Liverpool during his father's time with the Merseyside club. Following his father's return to Scotland, Cormack jr. started his career at the start of the 1990s with Edinburgh club Meadowbank Thistle, making two league appearances. He signed for Newcastle United but failed to make a first-team appearance and returned to Scotland in 1994 with Morton. Cormack was part of the Scottish Second Division-winning side in his first season, and he went on to make over seventy league appearances before loan spells at Raith Rovers and Stirling Albion at the end of his Morton career in 1999. After signing for Clydebank on a short-term deal at the start of 1999-00, he left to join Ross County, [cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/colosseum/track/8381/1999-00/rcfcjann.html#rep2|title=News from Ross County's 1999-2000 Campaign: January|date=2000-01-13|publisher=Ross County Football Club (unofficial)|accessdate=2008-09-24] where he spent the second part of the season.
