:00:20. > :00:27.He's said it's been a great end to an extraordinary year.
:00:28. > :00:38.It sounds strange, obviously. It is a big honour, a recognition for my
:00:39. > :00:43.results over the last few years. I'm happy being known as Andy, that's
:00:44. > :00:47.fine by me. In Dunblane, the honour is seen as a fitting tribute for the
:00:48. > :00:50.young man who has never forgotten his roots. I'd put him up there with
:00:51. > :00:57.the greatest with what he's achieved. He will go down as an
:00:58. > :01:01.all-time great in British sporting history. He's fantastic, he's
:01:02. > :01:06.brilliant, he deserves it. Brilliant, delighted. He's a great
:01:07. > :01:11.guy. The whole family they do so much for us. And this is the icing
:01:12. > :01:16.on the cake as far as his career is concerned. Sir Andy Murray,
:01:17. > :01:21.brilliant, fantastic news! There is an MBE for Gordon Reid has services
:01:22. > :01:25.to wheelchair tennis. Katherine Grainger, the first woman to win

:01:43. > :01:46.rowing and charity. This year feels like it has been not just a stepping

:02:02. > :02:04.Tens of thousands of revellers are expected in the city centre.
:02:05. > :02:06.The event is estimated to be worth more than ?40
:02:07. > :02:21.In some parts of the world, it is already 2017. But here in Edinburgh,
:02:22. > :02:26.there's still plenty to do as preparations continue well into the
:02:27. > :02:30.afternoon. Princes Street is shocked to transom traffic and soon it'll be
:02:31. > :02:36.the scene of a massive street party. I heard about this party, it's very
:02:37. > :02:40.famous, it's in the top five things you need to do before you die so I
:02:41. > :02:51.made the trip. In Scotland, they are very friendly. And hospitable. Nice
:02:52. > :02:55.people. And I came here. With 75,000 revellers, police say there will be
:02:56. > :02:59.a heightened presence. Organisers say security is their number one
:03:00. > :03:03.priority. We have a year-round process of reviewing our safety
:03:04. > :03:06.measures with Police Scotland and the local authority. We have
:03:07. > :03:09.measures in place and we ask the public to their bit to help as well
:03:10. > :03:14.and make sure they have their plans in place forgetting here, staying
:03:15. > :03:19.warm, drinking responsibly and using the transport to get home. The city
:03:20. > :03:27.is getting ready to party. Crowds are heading for Princes Street. And
:03:28. > :03:30.there is a ceilidh that'll bring in the New Year. We are expecting wind
:03:31. > :03:32.and rain but, hopefully, it'll clear away by midnight.

:03:52. > :03:53.The top two football teams in the country met
:03:54. > :03:58.Rangers and Celtic played out a thrilling Hogmanay encounter.
:03:59. > :04:00.And it was the current league champions who came out winners,
:04:01. > :04:02.stretching their Premiership lead to 19 points.
:04:03. > :04:11.Our senior football reporter, Chris McLaughlin, reports.
:04:12. > :04:21.One of the noisiest derbies in the world started with silence. In
:04:22. > :04:29.memory of the 66 fans who lost their lives in the New Year Ibrox disaster
:04:30. > :04:34.over 45 years ago. As the New Year approaches, it was an old face who
:04:35. > :04:37.had Ibrox rocking once more. Step forward 37-year-old Kenny Miller.
:04:38. > :04:43.Just reward for Rangers who'd started well. There are reasons why
:04:44. > :04:51.Celtic are so far ahead in the title race. One of those, the young French
:04:52. > :04:55.striker, Dembele. Celtic were level. At the start of the second half,
:04:56. > :05:01.only the crossbar stopped giving Celtic the lead. Sinclair was on
:05:02. > :05:08.target in the follow-up. He made amends with 20 minutes to go. Little
:05:09. > :05:11.help from the Rangers defence that had temporarily disappeared. In an
:05:12. > :05:15.entertaining match, the home side looked dangerous in spells. Miller
:05:16. > :05:22.thought he'd levelled late on. The post had other ideas. Disappointment
:05:23. > :05:25.for Miller and for Rangers. It finished here with Celtic deserving
:05:26. > :05:31.of their victory. It's party time now for them and their fans. On the
:05:32. > :05:35.last day of 2016, the title is all but there's.
:05:36. > :05:37.There were four other matches in the Premiership
:05:38. > :05:39.with wins for Dundee, and Ross County, in the Highland
:05:40. > :05:45.There were draws for Partick and Hamilton.
:05:46. > :05:47.Now, if you're planning to celebrate the New Year out of doors,
:05:48. > :05:49.the all-important weather forecast, from Christopher.
:05:50. > :05:55.Is the rain set to clear in time for the bells, Christopher?
:05:56. > :06:04.It is indeed, fingers crossed. Good evening. All that rain we've had is
:06:05. > :06:08.on its way out to leave many areas dry. The blue will be some showers
:06:09. > :06:14.in the north. There's the rain, offer goes south of the border. Many
:06:15. > :06:17.areas for central and southern Scotland are dry but it will be
:06:18. > :06:24.turning chilly, breezy as well. Further north, some showers, some
:06:25. > :06:28.low temperatures, and we have some sweet to lower levels. The wind is
:06:29. > :06:35.strong from the north and quite bitter, and there will be the risk
:06:36. > :06:42.of ice overnight. Be aware warning on the roads for those showers
:06:43. > :06:46.washing the grit. 2017, plenty of sunshine the central and southern
:06:47. > :06:52.parts with showers holding on in the north, then edging southwards. It is
:06:53. > :06:57.a cold and bracing day but plenty of sunshine to welcome in 2017.
:06:58. > :06:58.Afternoon highs of five. That's the forecast for now.
:06:59. > :07:03.But we're back with more news and weather 9:35pm.
:07:04. > :07:05.Until then, a have a very good evening.
