This weekend's derby between Dundee United and Dundee will be shown live on television at 15:00 GMT - despite a decades-long ban that normally prevents matches from being shown at that time on Saturdays.

Ruben Amorim's side have played just three times during the 3pm blackout this campaign - the last time being a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest on 1 November. The Red Devils have also not played a Saturday 3pm kick-off at Old Trafford since beating Sunderland on 4 October.
