The Scottish Premiership may be closed for three weeks as our top stars jet off on their winter holibags, sorry training camps.
But that doesn’t mean there’s no football on the box to keep us occupied through the cold dark January nights.
In fact there’s a glut of live matches this week to help ease us back into a working routine.
It all starts this afternoon with the English Premier League.
