What channel is Dundee vs Dundee United? Live stream, TV, ref, VAR and team news details for Tayside tussle
It is derby day in Scottish football as Dundee host Dundee United.
The 3pm Old Firm clash will wet the appetite perfectly for this Tayside tussle. The Dees snatched a late equaliser in August thanks to Luke McCowan. Things were looking bright after Dundee finished in the Premiership top six last season. But Tony Docherty's charges have slid into eighth in the league standings and stare at a nine-point gap to their newly-promoted rivals United. The deadline day sale of McCowan to Celtic was a dagger to all those in Dark Blue.
In contrast for Jim Goodwin's men the only way has been up, having have gone from strength to strength since last season's Championship glory. The 1-0 victory over Jimmy Thelin's Aberdeen means three points at Dens Park may see them jump up to third place and have Arab supporters dreaming of European football come the autumn.
