Due to his team’s postponed fixture with Aberdeen in the Ladbrokes Premiership, Motherwell’s Charles Dunne was given the afternoon off to do as he pleased.

Instead of putting his feet up and watching TV or playing Fifa, the 25-year-old decided to drive around the town offering lifts to local residents walking about in the snow.
