Mixu Paatelainen has returned to Scottish football after accepting the role of sporting director at League Two outfit The Spartans.
The 58-year-old’s last SPFL position was as Dundee United manager, with the ex-Tannadice striker unable to stop the Terrors from crashing to relegation during the 2015/16 campaign.
Since then, Paatelainen has bossed Thai side Ubon United, Finnish outfit IFK Helsingfors and taken charge of the Latvia and Hong Kong national teams.
