Lennon Miller bursting with pride as he discusses first Scotland start
The Motherwell midfielder impressed as he helped the Scots to a comfortable friendly win in Vaduz Motherwell star Lennon Miller admitted he was bursting with pride after making his first start for his country and providing an assist in Monday's 4-0 win in Liechtenstein. The 18-year-old earned his second Scotland cap in Vaduz after making his debut in Friday night's 3-1 defeat at home to Iceland. And he made a big impression, setting up Che Adams for the second goal of his hat-trick on a night George Hirst also got in on the act with his first Scotland goal. Miller will hope he has done enough to show boss Steve Clarke he can be a key player when the World Cup qualifiers kick-off in September away to Denmark and he was delighted with his first start in the Dark Blue. Miller said: 'It was a good night's work and it was a proud moment to make my first start - and it was nice to get an assist. The early goal calmed us down and it was good to play some nice stuff and got four goals.' 'The manager just told me to enjoy it and do what I do at Motherwell. He said that's why I was in the squad. I feel like I did well and I was proud of the performance. 'We weren't at our best on Friday night but we came here and our application was second to none. Hopefully we can now take that into the qualifiers.' Miller is expected to leave Fir Park this summer after a stellar season that saw him pick up a clutch of awards, including the PFA Young Player of the Year prize, and he now has two caps and international experience under his belt as the Steelmen aim to secure a big fee for their prized asset.

Yes, You Have Seen Carrie's Hot Gardener Before
After months of anticipation, And Just Like That is finally back on our screens for a third season. The show has already got hit ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, becoming the highest-ranked season so far. Many reviews are saying season three has finally found its footing as a proper sequel to the original show. The new season sees Carrie move into an incredible Gramercy Park West townhouse, leading to a host of encounters with new men. One of these is a hot new gardener, Adam (played by Logan Marshall-Green), whose jokey demeanour becomes a fun contrast to Carrie's grumpy downstairs neighbour. But where have we seen Logan before? Logan Marshall-Green is an actor, who is best known for his role as Trey Atwood in the second and third season of the OC. Logan was born in Charleston, South Carolina, and raised in Rhode Island. He went to the National Theater Institute in Waterford, Connecticut before graduating with a Master's in Fine Arts from New York University's Graduate Acting Program at the Tisch School of the Arts. NEW YORK, NY - AUGUST 01: Logan Marshall-Green is seen on the set of the series 'And Just Like That' on August 01, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images) ©Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images Logan has often been compared to fellow actor Tom Hardy. While he has acknowledged the similarities between them, he has previously pointed out he actually has a twin-brother called Taylor. He told 'I'd be honoured to be in the same sentence as Tom Hardy. I've been a twin since the day I was born - fraternal, but we look a lot alike - so I've already been mixed up with another man my entire life.' Logan Marshall-Green was born on 1 November 1976, making him 48-years-old. As well as his role in the OC, Logan has had roles in other TV shows including Traveler, Dark Blue, The Defeated and Quarry. He's also had starring roles in the films Devil, Prometheus, The Invitation, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Upgrade. ©Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images Fans were excited that Logan was starring in AJLT last year, after he was pictured on set with Sarah Jessica Parker. One fan account re-shared a picture that shows Logan cuddling Carrie's cat, with the caption: 'Oh my word, my heart!!!' At the time, it was unclear what role Logan would play, and some people speculated he could be a potential love interest of Carrie's. However, now we know he is Carrie's gardener, who has a penchant for silly T-shirts and a hilarious - and slightly sassy - personality.

Steven Pressley played for Rangers and Celtic and that takes bottle but only one thing can quell Dundee fans' revolt
'Elvis' isn't even in the building yet and his appointment has left the Dundee fans all shook up. It is fair to say Steven Pressley 's appointment as head coach has gone down like a lead balloon on the dark blue side of Tayside. They were perhaps looking for a so-called name who could excite the Dark Blue faithful. Someone they could get behind after the sacking of Tony Docherty. Pressley went through the full interview process and managing director John Nelms believes that he is the right man. Nelms went on the club's YouTube channel to explain the reason why he believes Pressley is perfect to coach the Dundee first-team. Dundee have decided to move away from the traditional managerial set-up. They have reshaped their footballing department with a new technical manager in David Longwell and a head coach, with Gordon Strachan working as a technical director above them. It is clear that the recruitment will be moved away from the manager. Nelms made it clear that they want to keep the conveyor belt of homegrown talent flowing through from the academy that has brought the likes of Lyall Cameron, Fin Robertson and Josh Mulligan through in recent seasons. A key asset for the head coach is developing players, both young and more experienced. Dundee want to do that while also winning games and competing in the top half of the Premiership. Nelms explained how Pressley has spent the last few years developing young players for Premier League Brentford, so has all the skills from that role and he has previous managerial experience. So why has Pressley's appointment been met with such resistance? Is it because he hasn't managed for more than six years since he left Carlisle United? Is it because his managerial record prior to that had been somewhat indifferent after spells at Falkirk, Coventry City, Fleetwood and Pafos? Could it be the fact that he is an ex-Dundee United player? Certainly, Nelms' last appointment when he brought in ex-United player Jim McIntyre as their manager proved a massive own goal, on and off the park. Or is it the Strachan factor? Where it is maybe perceived that the technical director has brought in another one of his friends or colleagues he has previously worked with. The old pals' act. It didn't really work when Mark McGhee came in although it is fair to say Tony Docherty was successful in his first season. Whatever the reason or reasons, it has left Pressley behind the eight ball before he even gets started. He is ready to cut short his silver wedding anniversary to start work early. It is the love of the Dundee fans he now has to try and win over. The one thing Elvis has shown throughout his career that he has never been scared of a challenge. He has played first-team football for Rangers and then later in his career went on to play for Celtic. It takes a bit of bottle and steel to do that but he did it with some distinction. Even at Hearts, he was a massive influence and one of the few who, as a player, was willing to stand up to the madcap ways of former owner Vladimir Romanov. The former Scotland star is also a good communicator and has always been a leader throughout his footballing career. A lot of his former players have also come out in support of him, claiming he is also a very good coach, even guys like James Maddison have spoken highly of him in the past. Pressley now has to put all this together and into practice at Dundee. The bottom line is results. If he wins games then that is all that matters. It doesn't matter if he is Steven Pressley or Pep Guardiola. Results on the pitch are all that matter! If Dundee win games and are successful then it will be more 'Can't help falling in love' for the Dundee fans towards Pressley. If he doesn't then it will be a case of Elvis has left the Dens Park building.

One of the Valley's best bars welcomes heritage-listed sister venue
For wines, Wagner is focusing on drops from Spain, Chile and Argentina, with the initial list running to around 60 bottles. Ask her to show you some – she's particularly proud of a Korinta chasselas, a Cacique Maravilla pipeno (which roughly translates to 'peasant wine') made from pais grapes – both from Chile – and a Matias Riccitelli malbec from Argentina. 'I was really keen to cut into more niche portfolios,' she says. 'By its nature with wine, you tend to learn about the terroir of a place, its geography. You're learning about the cultures and the history.' There are also snacks such as tinned sardines and octopus, Superbon Madrid crisps, and deli boards you can compile yourself with items such as a terrine and a cherry duck pate. It might be a more grown-up version of Dark Red, but Dark Blue still only has 30 seats. In short, get there early after work if you want to grab a seat.
