Why Maloney & Adam may appeal to Dundee
Speculation on who Dundee's next boss will be continues to swirl.Reports suggest former Celtic forward Shaun Maloney is the leading contender, with ex-Dens Park midfielder Charlie Adam also in the frame.So why would the Dundee board be interested in either of those names? "They are looking for a young, progressive coach," says The Scotman's sports editor Mark Atkinson.Adam is currently working as a set-piece coach at Everton after being sacked by Fleetwood last December following a year in charge.Maloney is also a free agent after leaving Wigan in March, lasting 14 months at the club. The ex-Scotland winger previously spent just four months in charge of Hibs.Speaking on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast, Atkinson said: "Dundee want to get their academy up and running and they want to build a philosophy right through the club. "I think that's why Maloney is of such appeal. He obviously knows [technical director] Gordon Strachan, who is among the hierarchy at Dundee. "Adam would probably fit into that category as well. I think Shaun's got slightly more experience, but Charlie's a massive Dundee man."He also played for the club and I think it would be a real honour for Adam if he was to get that job."

Finland accidentally call up 51-year-old retiree for international duty
Finland women's national team manager has apologised for mistakenly calling up a long-retired 51-year-old for this week's game against Serbia. When submitting the lineup, manager Outi Saarinen mistakenly entered former player Stina Ruuskanen instead of 23-year-old Djurgarden defender Nanne Ruuskanen. The error was not discovered until past deadline. Ruuskanen, who received her call-up 29 years after playing two senior internationals for Finland, took the mix-up in good humour. "I'm definitely ready if the call comes! Just yesterday I was playing in a hobby league match... so my game feel is good," she told the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat. The younger Ruuskanen, who is no relation, was unable to take part in the Nations League match, a 1-1 draw in Helsinki on Tuesday. "Nanne was, of course, disappointed but took the news very well considering the circumstances," Saarinen said in a statement from the Finnish Football Association. "I am very sorry for the mistake."
