What channel is Dundee vs Dundee United? Live stream, TV, ref, VAR and team news details for derby clash

Dundee and Dundee United have both experienced differing fortunes this season as they collide for the New Year derby at Dens Park.

Luke McCowan's deadline day switch to Celtic has clearly impacted the Dees, who have struggled to replicate the form that clinched a top-six finish last term. That's seen Tony Docherty's side slide into eighth in the league - nine points behind newly-promoted rivals United. Jim Goodwin's men, on the other hand, are punching well above their weight in their first year back in the Premiership and a victory on enemy soil could see them leapfrog Aberdeen into third.

You can be sure, though, that the Dark Blues would love nothing more than to kill the momentum of the Tangerines by kicking off 2025 with the bragging rights. One of the showpiece fixtures in the Scottish football calendar, the Dundee derby always tends to throw up plenty of goals and drama and here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know ahead of the blockbuster clash.
