CHRISTMAS is just around the corner, but there are two live Scottish Premiership matches to look forward to before it's time to settle down for some turkey.
Motherwell face Aberdeen at Fir Park on Friday with the Dons looking to bounce back from defeat to Ross County and get their challenge for second place back on track.
Celtic face a busy week as Brendan Rodgers' side will host Partick Thistle on Tuesday before travelling to Hamilton on Saturday for an early kick-off.
BT Sport 2 will show the action from Motherwell on Friday evening, with Sky Sports 1 airing the Hoops' lunchtime kick-off at New Douglas Park against Accies.
There are plenty more games to get you through the week including the Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool, Juventus and Milan's clash in the Italian Super Cup and Oliver Burke's Leipzig taking on German giants Bayern Muncih in a top of the table clash.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
