Former Dundee United, Hearts and Rangers man Jon Daly is heading to Finland with TPS Turku.

The Irishman is a recognisable face in Scottish football following spells at Tannadice and Rangers as a player. He has also spent some time as a coach at Hearts since retiring.

He left the Tynecastle side earlier this year though and has since been looking for his next opportunity in football.

He’s found it in Finland and will become TPS’ assistant manager and U23s boss.

TPS’ manager is Jonatan Johansson, another recognisable Scottish football figure. Featuring for Rangers, Hibs and St Johnstone as a player, he had been out of work since 2019 following a season as Morton boss.

Now his latest move is to bring Daly with him to Finland as Johansson looks for success in his new venture. The pair spent time together on SFA coaching courses, playing a big part in this link-up.
