Doubledee

The voice of Scotland for GB News will be David Donaldson. He better get it right, or Andrew Neil will be upset. 

David was born in Wick, went to Kirkwall Grammar School, Orkney; then followed a post-grad qualification in journalism at Darlington; I can't find the previous degree. 

"Dave has an impressively wide portfolio of sports and broadcast journalism experience; covering football for 14 years for Sky Sports, BBC Scotland, BBC 5 Live, BBC Final Score, Setanta Sports and RTE, and spending five years reporting on matches in the Premier League, as well as working for BBC World Service during the Olympics in London and BBC Scotland for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. He’s also freelanced for Scottish Television, covering news and sport."

He has been teaching journalism at the University of Sunderland and Napier University, as well as returning to Darlington to host 'mobile masterclasses'.  With Mike Patterson, a DJ at BishopFM who has the nickname 'Mr Darlo', David has been providing horse-racing tips on Twitter since November, as well as being the main commentator for Falkirk TV.  Previously he shared his football insights with customers of William Hill.  


Celtic won 3-0 and the first scorer was Scott Sinclair.
