Simon McMahon has messaged in to say:

“Season’s greetings to you and all Clockwatchers! Game of the day in Scotland is at Tannadice, where Dundee United will be in high spirits after inflicting a fourth straight defeat on Mike Basset’s Wilfried Nancy’s beleaguered Celtic side on Wednesday. It was a first win in eleven, though that run contained half a dozen draws, for Jim Goodwin’s side so they will now be hoping to build some momentum heading into the busy festive schedule with another three points today. A win would take the Tangerines within a point of visitors Hibs, and Aberdeen, who are in Glasgow to face Celtic tomorrow. Today’s other 3 o’clock ko’s are Kilmarnock v Falkirk, St. Mirren v Livingston and Motherwell v struggling Dundee.”

Right, it’s time for team news!

The second half has just started at St James’ Park in the match between Newcastle and Chelsea. The hosts currently lead 2-1 thanks to a brace from Nick Woltemade. Reece James got one back for Chelsea with a brilliant free-kick.
