Bookmakers have ranked a rock band from West Lothian the second favourites to secure the coveted Christmas number 1 slot.

The King Lot - made up of longtime friends Jason Sweeney, Michael Fairbairn and Chris Gillon - are teaming up with social group The Jolly Boys to release a cover of Wings, originally by US band Tyketto.

It'll be released on the 14th of November, and is currently ranked second behind the winner of the X Factor to secure the festive top spot.
