it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:08.

Scots are being advised to prepare for a stormy end to the year,

:00:09.:00:14.

with "Storm Frank" due to sweep across much of the country tomorrow

:00:15.:00:17.

The Met Office has issued weather warnings for wind and then for rain.

:00:18.:00:24.

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency says parts of the country

:00:25.:00:26.

should prepare for the possibility of flooding.

:00:27.:00:28.

It has been a miserable last few days for thousands of people in the

:00:29.:00:42.

north of England. Flooding has hit York, Manchester and large parts of

:00:43.:00:44.

Cumbria. Scotland hasn't seen anything on that scale yet but there

:00:45.:00:49.

are Met Office wind and rain warnings for the next few days. Some

:00:50.:00:56.

heavy rain around, 30-50 millimetres, a couple of inches and

:00:57.:00:59.

isolated valley was perhaps 100 millimetres. Dumfries and Galloway,

:01:00.:01:04.

maybe over 120 millimetres of rain in that particular area and the

:01:05.:01:12.

western borders. These are the areas likely to be affected by the

:01:13.:01:15.

heaviest rainfall on Wednesday. Southern and western Scotland and

:01:16.:01:20.

Dumfries and Galloway could be the worst hit. If it is as bad as

:01:21.:01:24.

predicted, what impact would it have? Robert E flooding, maybe road

:01:25.:01:30.

flooding and there would be fairly widespread flooding, not just one

:01:31.:01:35.

specific locality. We are talking about large areas of southern and

:01:36.:01:38.

western Scotland. It will affect travel and transport as well. People

:01:39.:01:43.

need to be aware of the conditions on Wednesday, poor weather

:01:44.:01:46.

conditions and flooding persisting into Thursday as well. It has been

:01:47.:01:51.

an exceptionally wet December. Here in quake at the beginning of the

:01:52.:01:54.

month and in Dumfries, it hit particularly hard. The advice if you

:01:55.:02:00.

are in an area particularly badly affected, make sure you are prepared

:02:01.:02:04.

to move and put valuables and documents upstairs. It is important

:02:05.:02:08.

to remember that these are just warnings, not to panic. The best

:02:09.:02:15.

thing to do is to keep checking the websites, the SEPA and whether

:02:16.:02:18.

websites. If there are flood warnings, SEPA will let us know

:02:19.:02:20.

nearer the time. A woman who died after a crash

:02:21.:02:22.

on the outskirts of Aberdeen has Shiralee Duncan from Dundee

:02:23.:02:25.

died from her injuries after the collision at

:02:26.:02:29.

the Charleston flyover on Thursday. Police are appealing to anyone

:02:30.:02:32.

with information to contact them. A man has appeared in court charged

:02:33.:02:38.

with murdering a man in Dundee two Aldis Minakovskis is alleged to have

:02:39.:02:42.

stabbed Aigars Upenieks to death last week at a block of flats

:02:43.:02:50.

in the city's Menzieshill area. The 24-year-old made no plea

:02:51.:02:53.

at the city's Sheriff Court Police are investigating

:02:54.:02:56.

after a coastguard vehicle was shot The 4x4 was on the woodland

:02:57.:03:02.

path near the river The weapon involved is thought

:03:03.:03:07.

to be a .22 air rifle. Some of Edinburgh's most famous

:03:08.:03:16.

landmarks are set to be turned blue, as part of its Hogmanay

:03:17.:03:19.

celebrations. Edinburgh Castle is among

:03:20.:03:20.

the buildings being illuminated It's in support of a UNICEF appeal

:03:21.:03:24.

for Syrian children, aiming to involve the 175,000

:03:25.:03:29.

revellers who'll see in 2016 We are raising money over the three

:03:30.:03:44.

days as part of the torchlight procession event on the 30th. A

:03:45.:03:48.

donation of the sales will go towards Unicef and our tickets have

:03:49.:03:52.

been donated since November and on the night there will be a special

:03:53.:03:56.

moment with Unicef on the 31st at 10pm when will set off fireworks and

:03:57.:03:59.

light up Edinburgh Castle blue. There's been a marked rise

:04:00.:04:02.

in the number of barber shops Barbers say that's because men

:04:03.:04:05.

are getting more accustomed to grooming services like hot

:04:06.:04:08.

towel shaves and waxing. Just a short back and sides? Not any

:04:09.:04:18.

more. It seems that the world of male -- the world of male grooming

:04:19.:04:23.

has moved on. Hot towels shaves and waxing are also on offer and the

:04:24.:04:28.

current trend for beards means that beard maintenance is also required.

:04:29.:04:33.

Clients's desire for a more indulgent experience is being met by

:04:34.:04:36.

this bustling business, one of many in this growing industry. Guys want

:04:37.:04:40.

to look after themselves now, that is why it is they look at this as a

:04:41.:04:47.

one-stop shop, it is hair, it is waxing, Matt Sergeant, manicure is.

:04:48.:04:50.

I think it's a great thing that they want to do that rather than just

:04:51.:04:54.

running in and having a quick haircut that doesn't look great. The

:04:55.:04:59.

data shows the number of empty shop units in Scotland actually dropped

:05:00.:05:02.

over the last year and barbershops are one of the services filling the

:05:03.:05:10.

gaps. This barber shop in Glasgow is one of 175 that have opened in

:05:11.:05:14.

Scotland over the last year alone, an increase of 50% on the year

:05:15.:05:19.

before. It seems that men don't mind paying for the experience. The

:05:20.:05:22.

British barber 's Association says the average price of a haircut is

:05:23.:05:26.

90p higher than a year ago, ?12 and five buttons. -- 5p.

:05:27.:05:32.

Football now: and Rangers have moved three points clear at the top

:05:33.:05:35.

of the Championship after beating their nearest challengers

:05:36.:05:37.

Rangers, who had midfielder Andy Halliday sent off,

:05:38.:05:40.

came from behind to secure a 4-2 victory.

:05:41.:05:43.

A capacity crowd of 50,000 anticipated at Ibrox for one of the

:05:44.:05:55.

most talked about festive fixtures. Much has been made of the managerial

:05:56.:05:59.

mind games ahead of this top of the table clash but now it's time for

:06:00.:06:02.

the talking to stop and the action to begin. And when it did, it lived

:06:03.:06:08.

up to the billings with Hibernian opening the scoring halfway the

:06:09.:06:12.

first half. Jason Cummings claiming his seventh goal against Rangers in

:06:13.:06:17.

nine appearances. Ten minutes later, Rangers were level. Jason hope

:06:18.:06:21.

latching onto Martin Michael Lumb's pass. Hope, the former Hearts

:06:22.:06:26.

midfielder, was at it again before the interval as his deflected shot

:06:27.:06:32.

put the home team in front. Rangers introduced Dean Shiels and Nicky

:06:33.:06:35.

Clarke and they combined for the latter to put Rangers 3-1 in front.

:06:36.:06:41.

The home side had midfielder Andy Halliday sent off after eight clash

:06:42.:06:47.

and that gave Burnley and hope of retrieving the situation and Dominic

:06:48.:06:55.

Mulumbu tried to pull it back. Rangers were unperturbed and top

:06:56.:06:58.

scorer Martin Michael Lumb took his tally to 21 for the season in the

:06:59.:07:03.

final minute, with a terrific effort. As the new year beckons,

:07:04.:07:08.

Mark Warburton's Rangers hold the bragging rights and a 3-point

:07:09.:07:11.

advantage at the top of the championship at the halfway stage.

:07:12.:07:14.

Now, we mentioned the weather at the beginning of the programme,

:07:15.:07:17.

so here's Gillian Smart with a full forecast.

:07:18.:07:21.

It will be stormy by this time tomorrow. Not looking as bad tonight

:07:22.:07:27.

although we will have this band of rain tracking east across the

:07:28.:07:32.

country. Heavy, strong DeGale force wind, gradually easing but gusts up

:07:33.:07:37.

to 70 mph in Shetland. Not a very cold night, temperatures 5-7.

:07:38.:07:43.

Tomorrow the last of the rain will clear in the morning and for most of

:07:44.:07:47.

the daylight hours, not a bad day. Dry, bright, some sunshine. Only

:07:48.:07:51.

later will we notice strengthening southerly wind, a sign of what's to

:07:52.:07:56.

come, Storm Frank. They rapidly deepening area of low pressure

:07:57.:08:00.

bringing stormy conditions tomorrow night. Firstly the wind, strong

:08:01.:08:05.

DeGale forced southerly is, DeGale force around the coast. And on top

:08:06.:08:14.

of that, the rain. We have a yellow beer where warning covering much of

:08:15.:08:19.

the country but besides that, a high level and be prepared warning for

:08:20.:08:25.

Dumfries and Galloway, the western borders and Perthshire and

:08:26.:08:29.

Stirlingshire. Nasty conditions tomorrow but in these areas, a

:08:30.:08:33.

significant risk of surface water and river flooding. The rain will

:08:34.:08:39.

still be with us on Wednesday, heavy and persistent, the gale force winds

:08:40.:08:45.

gradually easing in the afternoon. A brighter day for Hogmanay, certainly

:08:46.:08:49.

in the east but colder, and wintry showers in the North and West, with

:08:50.:08:51.

sleet at low levels. And that's Reporting Scotland,

:08:52.:08:54.

I'm back at 10.20. Until then, from the team,

:08:55.:08:56.

have a very good evening.
