SPL week 12

If you're debating what to do on a beautiful late fall afternoon, well look no further as week twelve of the Scottish Premier League heats up with a series of exciting matches. Possibly the match of the week is the Dons visit of Dundee Utd in an important match-up as wrestling early in the campaign for the spots behind Celtic and the Gers. Craig Levein's Dundee is coming off a tremendous 3-3 draw against the Rangers that they should have come out with three points and looking ready for the toughest of challenges.

Falkirk's visit to Hamilton is an intriguing match-up as the clubs appear to be going in the opposite direction with John Hughes' club scratching and clawing its way to tough points. The Accies need to find their early season form to halt the slide that have seen them winless in six matches. Falkirk shellacked Hamilton 4-1 in the final match of September and Billy Reid's club is searching for tactical alternatives to their stagnant attack.
