WHILE English clubs prepare for Boxing Day drama and repeat it all over at the weekend clubs in Scotland are rested up until Saturday.
William Hill's Owen Scott has completed his look at the stats before Santa falls down the chimney and here are his findings.
Remember these are suggestions based on stats and not tips – but they can be a big help and for example last week pointed me towards tipping Motherwell to win and John Sutton to score at 9-2.

Ross County have scored in five of
their last six matches against Celtic.
BOTH TO SCORE AND CELTIC WIN 13-8

last 10 minutes in each of the
previous three meetings between these
sides.

Lionel Ainsworth has scored every time
he has faced Partick since signing for
Motherwell.

St Johnstone are unbeaten in six
matches, winning five, and won the
